The Stork
The Stork is a character-driven comedy about the well-intentioned yet utterly clueless parents of a queer woman hoping to start a family through artificial insemination with Norwegian sperm ordered online — a popular route for many queer couples. When the crucial delivery arrives and their daughter isn’t home, her parents step in to help… only for the sample to be accidentally destroyed. Caught in an awkward (and decidedly unsticky) predicament with the delivery driver, the trio scramble to fix their mistake before she finds out. As they debate increasingly absurd solutions, their misunderstandings — though loving — reveal a hilarious clash of good intentions and ignorance. Through chaos, confusion, and misplaced determination, The Stork explores how far parents will go to protect their child’s happiness. It’s a heartfelt, mischievous story about unconditional love, acceptance, and the messy beauty of trying your best — even when you haven’t quite got a clue.
