Anchor and Hope

Eva (Oona Chaplin) and Kat (Natalia Tena) are a thirty-something bohemian couple living a carefree, nomadic lifestyle on a narrowboat cruising London's Regent's Canal. Their peaceful existence is upended when the unexpected death of their beloved pet cat triggers a deep biological clock response in Eva, sparking a intense desire to become a mother.

Kat, who fiercely values her independence and fears the conventionality of parenthood, reluctantly agrees to explore the idea. When Kat's hedonistic best friend Roger (David Verdaguer) visits from Barcelona, the trio comes up with an unconventional plan: Roger will act as the sperm donor. However, as pregnancy becomes a reality, the dynamic between the three shifts dramatically, forcing everyone to confront what family, commitment, and love truly mean in the modern world.
