TLA Releases Trials and Tribulations of LGBT Parents in "Two Mothers"

Canteen Outlaws, the new label from veteran LGBT giant TLA Releasing, has announced the January 13 DVD release of Anne Zohra Berrached's "Two Mothers" ("Zwei M�tter"), a brazen, timely and heart-wrenching exploration of the trials and tribulations a same sex couple encounter in their desire to become loving parents.

When happily married German couple Katja and Isabella decide to have a child, they are confronted with many unexpected obstacles, inconsistent laws and bigotry. Although they are married, most of the fertility clinics don't offer treatment for homosexuals under German law. After months of private doctor consultations and expensive procedures, they find a trader who sells utilities for an insemination at home, which starts a casting for potential donors.

As weeks and months pass by, it becomes clear that the process will be far more fraught than either were prepared for -- and may even threaten their relationship in unexpected ways. Katja begins to doubt if she really wants a child and wonders if Isa is willing to betray their relationship in order to fulfill her desire to become pregnant.

"Two Mothers" premiered at Berlinale, where it won the FGYO Award for best dialogue, and went on to acclaim and nominations at fests around the world, particularly for lead actresses Karina Plachetka and Sabine Wolf. The DVD will be available to purchase online and at all major retailers January 13 (SRP $24.99).
