The Letdown background

The Letdown

Audrey struggles to define herself beyond motherhood as she faces challenges from her career-driven husband, self-absorbed mother, and carefree best friend.

Audrey, a new mother, struggles to adjust to her new role. Overwhelmed by exhaustion, breastfeeding difficulties, and lack of support from her husband, mother, and friends, she joins a new-mothers' group. There, she meets a diverse group of women and one man who share similar experiences, including traumatic birth stories, sleepless nights, and a loss of identity.
