Some Couples May... is a bittersweet comedy that charts one woman's journey with her family through the challenges and heartbreak of infertility to the promise of motherhood. The story will be a familiar one to many: a couple struggling with the possibility of infertility, finding a way to bring a child into their lives. It promises to be an adventure into the humor and the heartbreak of one of life's most insistent questions: to be, or not to be, a parent. Some Couples May... contains strong language and sexual situations.
