If These Walls Could Talk 2

Originally an HBO drama.

A trio of stories about lesbian couples in three different decades. This is a semi-followup of the first "If These Walls Could Talk," with three segments set in the same house, but with different occupants, spanning nearly 40 years. While the first film dealt with women and the topic of abortion, this drama deals with women and lesbianism.

"1961" - When Abby dies of a stroke, her surviving partner of 50 years, Edith, must silently face heartbreak and the denial of her status as "family" by the hospital and Abby´s heirs.

"1972" - Linda, a feminist, out, college student is ousted, along with her lesbian cohorts, from the on-campus women´s group: the cause of feminism comes first, apparently. In an attempt to forget their troubles, the friends go to the only lesbian bar in town, where Linda meets Amy, who is too butch to muster approval with Linda´s friends. Intrigued, in spite of her buddies, Linda comes to understand and fall in love with Amy, while learning about her own predjudices.

"2000" - Fran and Kal want to have a baby. But they want the baby to be theirs and theirs alone, so to the sperm bank they go. But the decisions to be made! Ordering over the Internet? Which donor? What race? What gender? And what if the sperm bank is out of that???
