In 'The Unprotected,' a visceral and provocative exploration of motherhood's darker facets, we follow Lara James, a career-driven advertising executive, who yearns for a family. After her father's death, Lara's pursuit of pregnancy spirals into an odyssey of IVF treatments and heartbreaks until success finally crowns her efforts with a daughter, Auden. Yet, the idyll of motherhood shatters as Auden's ceaseless cries splinter Lara's sanity and strain her marriage to its very limits. Amidst sleep deprivation and a haunting sense of loss for her once-cherished life, Lara's very grip on reality begins to crumble, leading her to confront dire thoughts and perilous actions. It is in the abyss of her lowest point that Lara uncovers the raw magnitude of her love and the extreme measures she is capable of embracing for the sake of the family she so desperately desires.
