Paternal Instinct
THE STORY OF TWO GAY MEN, A (GOOD) WITCH AND THEIR BABY.
SYNOPSIS
Mark and Erik are an “unmarried” gay couple who have been together for ten years. They long to have biological children. Searching for a surrogate mother on the internet, they meet Wen, a wife, mother and practicing witch. Over the next three years, this unique partnership encounters unforeseen obstacles that challenge their desire for a child and threatens the growing bonds between them. It’s a ruthlessly honest portrait of an American family …with a 21st Century twist.
