Synopsis

As same-sex couples, Cindy and Joanne, and Charles and Tim want to help each other have a baby. When Cindy learns that the baby she is having was secretly agreed to be given away, her relationship with Joanne faces a serious challenge. Pregnant, Cindy returns from London to her hometown, Taiwan, where her best childhood friend, Tai, pledges to take care of her and raise the baby with her.

Confused about what a family should be like, Cindy finally plucks up her courage to face Joanne as well as Charles's and Tim's family. Although it is not generally acceptable in many places in Taiwan to be same-sex parents, Cindy still believes that day will come.

'Sprawling story of a baby, four parents, and the strife, with heartbreak, it took to produce a single tiny human being.'-Andrew Hamlin, Northwest Asia Weekly
