However, the film lacks significant visibility regarding LGBTQ+ and racial diversity. The narrative remains focused on a specific, seemingly non-diverse social and professional environment.

Louise is a molecular biologist who decides to make a withdrawal from the sperm bank and have a baby. Meanwhile, gallery owner Frans decides to re-boot his career by finding the hottest new talent on the art scene.
