What happens

The Darling Family is a 1994 Canadian drama film directed by Alan Zweig and written by Linda Griffiths. Based on Griffiths' 1991 play of the same name, the film stars Griffiths and Alan Williams as a couple discussing the state of their relationship after the woman unexpectedly becomes pregnant, blending both scenes in which they talk to each other with scenes in which they verbalize their interior monologues.
