A creative documentary about becoming a parent... and how to reconceive yourself. Fiction director Josh Appignanesi turns the camera on himself and his wife as they undergo the ordeal of becoming parents in the era of man-children and assisted reproduction.

It's a portrait of our generation going through a revolution in reproduction- forced to find new ways to think about ourselves as creative beings.
