Hippie girl Barbara Hershey agrees to be the surrogate mother for a middle class, childless suburban couple. Her musician boyfriend reluctantly agrees, so off she goes to spend a night in a cabin with the man, wife in tow. She must abide to all kinds of restrictions while pregnant, primarily no sex with her real boyfriend. As the pregnancy progresses, she becomes good friends with the couple while outgrowing the immature hippie lifestyle. The film takes its time and examines every angle of the complex relationships. It also offers a glimpse of LA circa 1970, including a psychedelic projection party!
