This is a very rough work-in-progress.
In the film’s primary narrative arc, filmmaker Kara (real and imagined) wants to have a baby. Framing the story are auditions and behind-the-scenes documentary footage as her feature is being shot about a single filmmaker who is trying to have a baby. Her Mom offers comical commentary on the life choices of both Kara and the actress playing Kara; the unsustainability of a life forged in the creative arts; and the difference between feminists of her own generation and Kara’s.
