Surrogacy

In this poignant Japanese drama, Tamaki volunteers to become a surrogate mother for her gay older brother, Satoshi, and his partner, Keito. Using her own egg and Keito's sperm, she carries their child, hoping to help the couple build the family they've always dreamed of. But this heartfelt plan stirs deep emotional and societal tensions, from their conservative mother's disapproval to the weight of Japan's strict surrogacy laws. As Tamaki navigates her changing body and complex feelings, the film delicately explores the meaning of parenthood, selfless love, and breaking free from traditional gender roles. Short yet impactful, *Surrogacy* is a rare, sincere look at LGBTQ+ family building in Japan.
