  "summary": "Lauren Miller Rogen's comedy film \"Babies\" explores the theme of childless adulthood and chosen family. The film, written and directed by Miller Rogen, stars Anna Kendrick and Seth Rogen as a happily married couple, Aaron and Annie, without kids.\n\nThe movie delves into the dilemma of whether or not to have children, a question Miller Rogen has often been asked as a woman. According to Miller Rogen, she was inspired by her own experiences, including having friends with a young child move in with her and her husband for a year. This experience influenced the film, which also stars Dan Stevens, Kate Berlant, Issa Rae, Ed Helms, Zach Cherry, and Sharon Stone.\n\nThe film follows Annie and Aaron as they navigate their childless life, with their home becoming a temporary refuge for others, including a woman who breaks up with her husband and moves in with them. According to TheWrap, the official TIFF program asks if witnessing the joys and sorrows of parenting will influence Annie and Aaron's decision, or if they will remain ambivalent.",
