Ari is adrift, isolated with a one-year-old son in upstate New York. Then Mina moves to town: indie rock bassist in the 1980s, now a poet, pregnant and alone. Ari sees the possibility of connection, and soon the two become comrades-in-arms, navigating hostile terrain. Acclaimed for its insight, outrageous humor and power to spark fierce debate, AFTER BIRTH is a daring portrait of motherhood, marriage and transformative friendship.
