Only a Mother

In the polluted world of 2100, productivity defines worth and family formation is strictly regulated. Vyv Pickford, a ruthlessly ambitious corporate analyst, seems to have the perfect life alongside her husband Mat. When they decide to have a child through surrogacy with Mat's mother as the carrier, Vyv begins experiencing unsettling revelations about her own mysterious origins. As Vyv's professional and personal worlds collide, she discovers disturbing truths about how this society handles children born with "imperfections." Haunted by fragments of buried memories and confronting a system that treats children as commodities, Vyv must question everything she once valued. "Only a Mother" explores the moral boundaries of reproductive technology, the meaning of family, and what truly defines motherhood in a world where human connection has been sacrificed at the altar of efficiency and perfection.
