Baby

Camilla is 36 and she wants a baby.

With dark humour and honest vulnerability, 'Baby' delves into baby envy and pretend pregnancies, while journeying into a landscape of fertility clinics and assisted human reproduction.

'Baby' is full of unsolicited advice from strangers. 'Baby' is seeing a pram in the Lidl middle aisle and having an unexpected cry into a discounted microfibre cloth. 'Baby' is all your thirty-something year old friends having babies but none of them are yours.
