This fiction series follows three couples — Bert and Kirstie, Charlie and Ziggy and Ellen and Ellen — who get to meet in the waiting room of the fertility clinic. Regardless of their differing backgrounds, they become friends. Firstly because of their strong desire to have a child. But mainly because they understand each other and manage to blend out an outside world that doesn’t seem to understand them at all. That is how they become The Club. Which, frankly, they never wanted to be a part of. They support each other, laugh at the misery they face and cry when another IVF attempt fails. Together they try to forget that suffocating wish for a child, that took over their entire lives. But is that really possible? How well do they know each other? Are they really friends or are they just trying to escape that bitter reality? And how honest are they with each other? What happens if someone becomes pregnant? At the end of the series it becomes clear whether their friendship will last. And whether our three couples separately survived the severe emotional test. The Club is more than an simple straightforward story about (not) having children. It is a unique and heartwarming story of humor, hope, tested friendship and love in periods of difficult punctures and pregnancies.
