Stephanie and Julia are friends who work together writing and illustrating adult comic books. Stephanie lives a free and easy existence but harbours an overwhelming obsession to have a baby. Julia already has the perfect family but is concealing a major emotional crisis: she is pregnant again and her partner is having an affair with a younger woman. Each woman envies her friend's different lifestyle, and they both want more. The film's driving force is the women's talk; their funny stories, frank disclosures, erotic secrets and painful confessions create an intimate and playful commentary on contemporary relationships and lifestyles in the 1990s.
