Egg

Tina is a New York artist whose husband Wayne lives off her money and success. They invite her eight-months-pregnant art-school rival Karen, the perfect homemaker, and her power-hungry new-money husband Don to their Brooklyn loft and surprise them with Tina's new work-in-progress: a radical alternative to motherhood. Tina, expecting a child via surrogate, tells Karen that she couldn't stand having someone hanging off her breast all day. Karen retaliates that being pregnant makes her feel like a celebrity and that she's sorry for people who don't have children. When the sensuous, non-traditional surrogate Kiki arrives, the truth comes out, and the patriarchy fights to hang on by its teeth, and a tough debate breaks out between ex-girlfriends, in which everyone reveals secrets and tries to defend their opinions about surrogate motherhood.

An unflinching comedy about why women choose motherhood, why they revere it, fear it, and why some women choose to forgo it. Over the course of one explosive evening, two couples and a surrogate must face their own ridiculous and sometimes heartbreaking shortcomings.
