Dream Children

The challenges of a young gay male couple who decide to have a baby in the early 2000s. Hunky architect Alex wants a child while his partner, TV game show host, Steven is closeted at work and not keen on exposing himself to public scrutiny. Adding to the problem is the government's policy against same sex adoptions and their own, far from settled, home life. They decide to illegally hire a surrogate mother to carry the baby, but she plots her own scheme to get more money from the two.

My take

A tender, emotionally rich exploration of modern parenthood and partnership. For viewers seeking intimate character-driven stories that wrestle with love, sacrifice, and the courage it takes to build a family on your own terms.
