HOW TO HAVE KIDS

With

Roos Dickmann, Achraf Koutet, Janne Desmet

In presence of Zita Theunynck and Leander Verdievel, Thursday November 9.

Three couples meet in the corridor of a fertility clinic. They are united by the overwhelming desire to have a child. And so, The Club is born!

On the face of it, nothing is easier than having a baby, right? The three couples in The Club who meet at an infertility clinic would have a different opinion. Caught up in a sudden or long-standing desire to expand their little family, they discover the ups and downs of this world that is unknown to them - and to us. Through a tender and original comedy-drama, The Club doesn't hesitate to question and redefine notions of masculinity and femininity, as well as those of motherhood and fatherhood. The first three episodes are each dedicated to a couple, before their stories intertwine more intensely, ultimately telling the story of what binds or separates us.
