Birthmas

A dysfunctional Australian family gathers at a country estate for a combined Christmas and birthday celebration, where long-buried secrets and tensions collide: Samantha and her husband Dylan are quietly devastated by her diagnosis of primary ovarian failure, while her narcissistic mother Laura arrives with a female lover, her ailing father Ben conceals a recent heart attack, her sister Alexandra unexpectedly discovers she is pregnant, and her stepbrother Shaun introduces his South African fiancé Keenon and their adopted toddler Kendy to a family unprepared for the revelation.

Over two chaotic days marked by a broken fridge, a stranded road trip, a food fight, and raw confessions around the dinner table, each character is forced to confront their fears and failings; Ben acknowledges his mortality, Laura drops her performative persona to offer Samantha genuine maternal comfort, Shaun reconciles his privilege with Keenon's harder past, and Dylan reaffirms his commitment to Samantha despite a fleeting kiss from their widowed neighbor Alison; culminating a year later with Samantha visibly pregnant, the family louder and messier than ever, but unmistakably bound together.
