Immediate Family

In this poignant exploration of parenthood, marriage, and the complexities of adoption, Linda and Michael embark on a journey that challenges their understanding of family dynamics. When the couple, grappling with infertility after ten years of marriage, seek an adoption agency's assistance to start their own family, they stumble upon Lucy, a teenage girl who is expecting her first child. Eagerly embracing the idea of welcoming a new life into their home, they agree to adopt Lucy's baby and have her relinquish her parental rights. However, life rarely follows an expected course, and as the trio navigate through the emotional labyrinth of expectations, uncertainties, and personal growth, they must confront their own assumptions about love, sacrifice, and what it truly means to create a family. This deeply human film offers a touching portrayal of how relationships evolve under extraordinary circumstances and the power of empathy in fostering bonds that transcend traditional notions of kinship.
