Description:

BEARING FRUIT- After complications arise during the birth of their first born, Linda Rodriguez-Hernandez and her husband Roberto learn that they will be unable to provide any future siblings for their daughter. They turn to Magdalena, the ardently religious family matriarch, in order to persuade Linda's older sister, Esperanza, into being their surrogate by imposing the family's cultural values on her. After Esperanza agrees to be their surrogate complications arise. The story is a character study into some of the pertinent philosophical questions that have emerged from Man?s use of modern technology. The interpersonal struggles of the Rodriguez family will allow the audience to ponder and experience the relationship between science and ethics, causing us to contemplate and define the parameters between human individuality and the collective units that structure our society.
