BABES

After becoming pregnant from a one-night stand, Eden, an aggressively single woman, leans on her married best friend and mother of two, Dawn, to guide her through prenatal life and beyond.

Eden, played by the film's co-writer Illana Glazer best known for her work on BROAD CITY, is a yoga instructor living in New York, who, despite their lifestyle differences, has remained best friends with Dawn (stand-up comedian Michelle Buteau) for nearly 30 years. After a chance subway encounter and one-night stand with a charming actor, Eden finds herself pregnant. A buddy comedy with women at the centre, the film, which had its world premiere at SXSW, explores the pains and joys of new motherhood. It isn't afraid to go raunchy with some gross-out moments, while still focusing on the importance and meaning of female friendship in a heartfelt way.
