DEUX DATE

In a small Rhode Island town where everyone knows your history, Deux Date follows Abby Stewart, a 37-year-old single mother, and her teenage daughter Eden, whose tightly bonded lives are quietly undone when both unexpectedly become pregnant.

Abby became pregnant in college and was left behind, a rupture that shaped her relationship to love, risk, and her own body. Years later, she has built a contained, competent life—running a vegan patisserie, raising Eden, and keeping desire at a manageable distance. When Eden urges her back into dating, Abby’s attempts at intimacy are awkward, comic, and revealing, exposing how deeply she has learned to protect herself. Meeting Adam, a gentle high school football coach with his own history of restraint, unsettles Abby not because he rescues her, but because he treats her desire as something worthy of care.

Eden, meanwhile, is living in a body that is changing faster than her certainty. In love with her longtime boyfriend Jake and surrounded by futures mapped by adults—college, legacy, promise—Eden quietly crosses a threshold that no one prepares her for. Her pregnancy does not arrive as scandal or tragedy, but as a question: what does it mean to choose yourself when everyone believes they already know your story?

When mother and daughter realize they are pregnant at the same time, their bond is destabilized. Abby must confront the difference between survival and choice, between what she endured and what Eden might still decide. Eden, watching her mother reckon with desire, regret, and possibility, begins to see her own body not as a consequence, but as a site of agency.

Set amid church services, football rituals, and seasonal gatherings, Deux Date resists spectacle in favor of intimacy. It observes how women learn—often too early—to negotiate their bodies in silence, and how love, when rooted in honesty, can become an act of reclamation.

Deux Date is a story about women at different stages of life discovering that bodily autonomy is not a single decision, but a continuous practice—and that choosing oneself is often the most radical act of Love of all.
