Thomas and Oscar look like the “everything worked out” version of a gay couple. Thomas shoots photos for a living, Oscar works in acting, they’re genuinely in love, and then their long-awaited chance at a child finally lands. For a hot minute, it’s almost annoying how happy they are.

Then a court steps in. Their adopted son is supposed to go back to his birth mother. Just like that, the fairytale paperwork ends and the emotional math starts. Thomas spirals, Oscar buries himself in work, and the big question becomes uncomfortable: do they even agree on what “family” is supposed to mean anymore?

The film’s real comfort blanket is their circle of friends. Especially Leah, Thomas’s best friend, and her partner, who stick around when the future stops looking guaranteed.
----------
Thomas und Oscar wirken wie der perfekte Familien-Postkartenentwurf. Fotograf und Schauspieler, verliebt, und dann klappt auch noch der lange ersehnte Kinderwunsch. Wirklich. Zu schön, um wahr zu sein. Denn plötzlich kommt das Gericht und entscheidet, dass ihr kleiner Adoptivsohn zurück zu seiner leiblichen Mutter muss. Von jetzt auf gleich kippt die gemeinsame Zukunft. Thomas rutscht in eine Krise, Oscar flüchtet sich in Arbeit und tut so, als würde man Gefühle einfach wegplanen können. Währenddessen fragt sich Thomas, ob sie als Paar jemals die Familie bauen können, die er sich so sehr wünscht. Die Rettungsleine ist ihr Freundeskreis. Vor allem Leah, Thomas’ beste Freundin, und ihre Partnerin, die in dieser Dauer-Unsicherheit wenigstens Halt geben.

00:00If this won't you...
00:01I'm not going.
00:02Please don't have sex in front of me again.
00:08Thomas.
00:09Hi.
00:09Oh, I was hoping you'd come by.
00:11Thomas is a fabulous photographer.
00:14You're good?
00:15I think I am.
00:17What about you? What do you do?
00:18I'm a mommy.
00:21We love that.
00:22My best friend donated his sperm.
00:24There's no real rule book for this.
00:26I didn't even think it was an option until it happened.
00:28Oh, you're a dad.
00:30I was, but I was a foster dad.
00:37My husband Oscar and I had one year with Arthur.
00:40One birthday.
00:42One perfect summer.
00:44One Christmas.
00:46And one goodbye.
00:47Neither of you were his father.
00:49It was always temporary.
00:51He's going back to his birth mom.
00:54I don't know where to go from here.
00:56It's like all my options feel wrong.
01:00Yeah, you're my oldest friend.
01:02It's weird how we're going through something so similar yet so different.
01:06Didn't even bring me miscarriage flowers.
01:09What if I told you I brought you Italian food from that place on Hillhurst?
01:14Go get it. I'm hungry.
01:16Come on.
01:17It feels like everyone we know is either having kids or talking about having kids.
01:22I'm looking at options for us.
01:24Let's find out if you're fertile.
01:25You're not doing this for us.
01:26You're doing this for you.
01:29You and I decided this.
01:31You were devastated.
01:32I was devastated.
01:34But what about you?
01:35I don't want to be a father.
01:36I don't.
01:37What does that mean for us?
01:38I feel like I already lost you.
01:41You want to look back on your life and know that you fought when things got hard.
01:45I don't know where.
01:49I don't know where.
01:51I don't know where.
01:51It feels like I already lost you.
01:54Just knowing these days will change the world's been.
02:04Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
