What happens after you say ‘Yes’ to the marriage proposal? For Madeline, a woman who has poured time and love into her work life, saying yes to a personal life seems to be harder than she could imagine. While she loves her boyfriend, she worries that the expectations her finance has for her are not what she wants.

As a woman, can you have the career and the home life without sacrificing something? Told through animation and live action, Betrothed takes us into our own heads, along with Madeline’s.
