Double Income, Kids

A closely observed story of an Israeli gay couple on their journey to have biological twins through their gestational surrogate, a woman from the US: for a period of one year, we look into the couple’s daily lives in Israel, witnessing how they cope with the financial, medical, social and religious issues Israel’s reality poses them on their quest for fatherhood. Intimate and refreshingly honest, the film raises questions about social norms and the zeitgeist of our technologically advanced world, while celebrating the expansion of our definition of family and the increased visibility of the resistance to “biological destiny.”
