Gasparilla International Film Festival 2009

A lighthearted look at the ongoing controversial culture war about same sex parenting and marriage. Miranda Bliss, an evangelical Christian, runs ”Fishes and Loaves Christian Catering” with her sister Lucy Dexter, in rural Coover Corners, Georgia. Her husband Parker, is an advocate against gay marriage. After seeing a documentary on TV, Miranda gets a message from the Lord, telling her to become a surrogate mother for the married gay male couple from Boston who were the subject of the TV program: African American dance choreographer/ costume designer Terry Price-Owens and Jewish physician Sandy Price-Owens. Complicating all this is the pregnancy of Miranda’s sister Lucy – long married, but up to now unable to conceive. Lucy now becomes pregnant with ‘rescued’ embryos supplied by an evangelical organization called “Destiny’s Children.” Confiding in Lucy, but without telling her husband Parker, Miranda goes up to Boston to meet Terry and Sandy, agrees to have a baby for them, and ultimately becomes pregnant – the men have “mixed and matched” their sperm, with an egg supplied by their lesbian friend in Boston who was herself unwilling to carry the child for them. After Miranda is back home and pregnant in Coover Corners, all Hell breaks loose when Terry Price-Owens shows up uninvited, and against his husband Sandy’s wishes, to micro-manage Miranda’s pregnancy – and he won’t leave!
