Athena and Lilith forego men for a scientific experiment, creating sperm from their own stem cells. A truly lesbian double pregnancy follows and a situation comedy ensues as Lilith's alcoholic gay dads and Athena's religious zealot of a mother turn up to hear the big news.
Filmed in a mockumentary style, this is a feature length follow-up to Alison Reid's award-winning short, Succubus, capitalising on the fact that her two lead actresses are now pregnant. Brilliantly performed and thrillingly uplifting with the right mix of laughs and heartfelt drama, the film leads up to an hilarious dance-off to the Black Eyed Peas' My Humps.
"Incorporating the real-life pregnancies of its game leading ladies, the pic puts bulging bellies, swollen breasts and hormonal mood swings on unabashed display." Variety
