Lylith and Henry a couple who cannot conceive visit a futuristic clinic to create a genetically modified baby by choosing all qualities from appearance to the character. However the baby genome will be based on the parents genes.


This experience creates tension in the relationship as their genome analysis leads them to discover that the mother has no capacity to love. The father cannot believe it, because their life seemed to look happy and full of love. Was it just his perspective or a lie?


They cannot afford to give their baby the ability to love, because the price for it is too high. They are risking everything to have a healthy baby without any ability to love. Nevertheless, Lylith doesn't mind and even finds some advantages of it.


There are three favorite topics I love to explore as a filmmaker, it is Life, Death, and Love. In the film Parenthood, I wanted to reflect on how a person would feel without the ability to love. What advantages can it give? What if this person would feel even happier than her partner who is opposite, fulfilled of love. Love is a very in concrete felling but I believe in its existence it gives me just a huge pleasure to explore it in my films.
