Description

Egg Timer follows Daphne and Reza on a walk through Brooklyn's Prospect Park as they reckon with all of their fears and fantasies about parenting, which come to life around them. Daphne and Reza are a recently married couple in their mid-thirties and the question of how and when to start a family is both front of mind and emotionally volatile. For Daphne, it brings up financial fears, bodily fears, and the voice of her mother; and those worries start manifesting in a fantastical and surreal way as the couple walk through Prospect Park. Reza, for his part, is eager to have kids, so he wants to validate Daphne's concerns, while assuaging them at the same time.

As the couple discuss and fantasize together, the prospect of parenthood morphs from haunting and theoretical into something real, tangible, and maybe even hopeful.
