這些年來，妮娜（Nina）和馬克（Mark）一直在努力懷孕，並進行了多次無效的試管嬰兒治療。他們並不考慮領養。他們渴望擁有自己的孩子，由他們彼此的愛所孕育。最後的選擇，雖然在德國仍是非法的，就是代孕。由於經濟原因，他們選擇了印度。妮娜的受精卵被植入一位年輕印度女性的子宮中。一切進展順利，妮娜和馬克焦急地等待著寶寶的降臨，然而，出乎意料的是，他們收到了令人心碎的消息——代孕母親失蹤了。這對德國夫婦，不顧一切困難，開始了尋找這位懷有他們孩子的女性的旅程。
For years Nina and Mark have been trying to have a child, including many unsuccessful attempts with IVF treatment. Adoption is not an option for them. They long for their own child, brought to life by their love for one another. Their last resort, still illegal in Germany, is a surrogate mother. For financial reasons, they choose India. Nina's fertilised ova are implanted in the womb of a young Indian woman. Everything goes well and Nina and Mark are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their baby when, unexpectedly, they receive harrowing news. The surrogate mother has vanished. The German couple, against all odds, starts out on a search for the woman with their child in her belly.
