Summary

LOVE ALONE CAN'T MAKE A CHILD

Maria (38) and Christiane (46) have been lovers for 14 years and share a dream common to many couples: to have a child of their own. But physical limitations, medical concerns, time, and a discriminatory healthcare system turn this wish into an extreme challenge. Director Judith Beuth, who has been close friends with Maria since childhood, has been accompanying the couple on this emotional journey since it began, nine years ago. At times, their endeavour pushes them to their limits, but it also makes them grow - each in her own way as well as a couple. Beuth’s debut feature-length documentary is both an intimate glimpse of a loving couple and an exploration into how long one should hold on to a wish before letting it go.
