The Complete Picture

Kira, a 36-year-old photographer, has never thought much about her donor-conceived identity. When she gets pregnant, she realizes she wants to reconcile with the truth of her roots in order to pass on her entire genealogy. With her dead dad constantly in her ear, they delve into the process of tracking down her donor. But digging up family secrets takes a toll on the people closest to her who want those secrets to stay buried. Driven by an original rock score and a father-daughter relationship, “The Complete Picture” digs into questions of nature versus nurture and the fertility industry. Erin Maya, the writer, is a queer, Cuban-Irish donor-conceived artist.
