Gone for three years after running out on her wedding, she returns to

and when she discovers that the new co-owner is a family friend, Lisa,
things get more complicated. Soon the aroma in the kitchen is full of

A wry comedy feature
about one of life's biggest decision.. Sasha, a
cartoonist, wishes that she could get pregnant by mistake with her
girlfriend, Maya. Having to be so rational about it is putting her off.
Presuming that straight people have it easier, she creates two
heterosexual scenarios in order to further investigate procreation. As
she draws more, the fiction begins to influence Sasha's experience
– or perhaps Sasha is making her anxieties rub off on her
characters.
