So she wants to stay, he wants to leave. Not sure why a pregnancy would immediatley throw it to his side of the debate...as Richiev pointed out, they have hospitals in Italy... Why does the husband want to return to the States? Family? A better job? What you need to do is pit his dreams against hers.

Hi,

It might be even funnier if she hates it in Italy but her husbands overbearing family want them to stay. Learning that she's the baby making factory they've been waiting for will apply even more pressure for them to stay - hence she wants to hide the pregnancy.

It depends what your protagonist is aiming to learn on the journey. Is it that she doesn't need art if she has love, to be less selfish, to value family more?

Good luck

This is purely a logline, no script yet! My attempt at a romcom concept. I've tried to raise the stakes.
