TRYING

Shauna Johannesen

canada | 11min | british columbia premiere | 2016 | english

When it seems like every teenage girl who climbs in the back of a Prius ends up knocked up, Steve and Ellie are sure getting pregnant will be child's play. But as sex becomes increasingly un-sexy, and foreplay becomes more needles than necking, they face the tender, comic trials of 'What to Expect when you're NOT Expecting.'
