EXPECTING
Free-spirited Stephanie is a single, pregnant performance artist living in a downtown loft. Premature labour pains begin after a torrid sex session. Caught off guard, she phones her closest friends and family to rally them to her side. One by one the participants arrive to support her in their unique ways. Anita, Stephanie's domineering older sister, worries about Stephanie's freewheeling lifestyle and wants a hospital birth. Gary, a food photographer, Stephanie's friend and occasional lover, desperately plans his marriage proposal to her. Dani, an entertainment reporter and Stephanie's best friend, has agreed to act as her labour coach but would rather focus on her next romantic conquest. Julia, Stephanie's midwife and Anita's estranged childhood friend, tries to maintain calm in the midst of the chaos. Ian, Stephanie's current New Age lover, is eager to add fatherhood to his experience. Jack, Anita's perfect husband, wants to rekindle the spark in his failing marriage. And Azaan, Stephanie's creative collaborator and neighbour, brings some harmony to the occasion. Over 24 hours, tensions run high as midnight cravings, stalled labour and a plethora of expectations collide.
