Inconceivable!
Central Crisis: Helene Talos, a married young mother
to be, wants her baby but doesn’t want to gain weight, eat better, get off
drugs, breast-feed or slow down her competitive business or amateur running
career. In nine months, Helene deals
with pregorexia (fear of gaining weight during pregnancy), assault, high risk
pre-natal surgery, the secrets her mother kept from her, lice, explosions and her karaoke-prone
husband, Greco.
Main Character: Helene Talos, 30s successful wig
designer to the stars and upper elites of society. Married
to Greco, a location scout for a large NY advertising agency. The typical double-income, no kids couple go
the gyn for a first trimester check-up and the secrets of their ancestors begin to emerge. Genetic counseling from an androgynous
therapist helps Helene develop into a proud mother of inter-racial twins.
General Setting and tone: Inconceivable! is set in
1999 in New York City. It has the tone
of Moonstruck mixed with As Good as it Gets and a little When
Harry Met Sally. There are also
historic elements and diverse female supporting roles. (Sequels take place in
2001, when the towers fall on the new parents and the last of the trilogy in 2005, when the twins start school.)
