The Club
In The Club we follow three couples - Bert & Kirstie, Charlie & Ziggy and Ellen & Ellen - who get to know each other in the waiting room of the fertility clinic. Regardless of their completely different background, they become friends. In the first place because they each have a strong desire to have a child. But mainly because they understand each other and manage to escape together from an outside world that doesn’t seem to understand them at all. Thats how they become The Club. Which, frankly, they never really wanted to be a part of.
They support each other, laugh at the misery they face and cry when another IVF attempt fails. Together they try to forget that suffocating child wish that took over their entire lives. But is that really possible? How well do they actually know each other? Are they really friends or are they just trying to escape that bitter reality? And how honest are they with each other? Because what happens if someone becomes pregnant? At the end of the series it becomes clear whether their friendship will last. And whether our three couples separately survived the severe emotional test.
The Club is more than an simple straightforward story about (not) having children. It is a unique and heartwarming story of humor, hope and tested friendship and love in periods of difficult punctures and pregnancies.
