Sara, a biochemistry professor, is recovering from divorce and slight nervous breakdown. Her boyfriend is fun, smokes a little pot, drives an ice cream truck but has a condition called 'lazy sperm.' She has invited over graduate student, Wren, and her fiancé, Mark, in a quest to get his sperm. Each of these flawed characters is trying to get what they want and maintain both their fragile love and tenuous sanity. It is both funny and sad at the same time.

Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness 12/22/2021
3.5/5
As it is riddled with outrageous dialogue to highlight how egregious his characters are, it can be difficult to find your way into the technically impressive film. Go to Full Review
Bobby LePire Film Threat 12/09/2021
7.5/10
It is only an okay movie, but it'd make for a stellar play. Still, what is offered by the screenplay and cast is enough to give the title overall a hearty recommendation. Go to Full Review

05/08/2022 Worth your time! A dark indie comedy that caught me off guard. Check it out! See more 04/21/2022 A hilarious and entertaining comedy. In search of the sperm of her student's fiancé, Sara will try to put a positive spin on her life while we discover a story that unfolds peculiarly. Well-directed by Michael Erger, it achieves fresh and natural performances, the photography is also outstanding, but my favorite part is the moral of the story. I highly recommend it! See more clara b 01/12/2022 I thought this was a little gem of a movie. It had everything -- comedy, heart, unique storytelling, good acting and tons of quirk. Not your usual rom com or dramedy, which I appreciated. I noticed the writer was also the director and actor. I look forward to seeing what he does next. See more 01/09/2022 A well written script, Dark comedy, and great acting! I was drawn in and sold. This is why I love Indy films so much. The cinematography was great and my family gave me kudos for selecting a great Indy film for our weekly weekend watch! My character who stole this film was Billy. And that's all I will say except check it out. See more 01/06/2022 Great comedy! Very entertaining. Beautifully shot and great acting. PESCADOR VIDEOS See more 01/03/2022 Great indie film.
