The story
Marie and Peter seem to have a perfect life, but their wish to start a family remains unfulfilled. After several unsuccessful attempts to conceive naturally, they decide to pursue adoption in Russia. Months of preparation and waiting lead them to travel from Germany to an orphanage thousands of miles away, where they hope to meet their future daughter, Nina. They do not yet know that the adoption process will become a grueling ordeal involving Russian authorities. As they fight for the chance to bring Nina into their family, the strain raises questions about whether they still share the same goal, both individually and as a couple.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
Marie and Peter’s life seems perfect, but their greatest wish remains unfulfilled: to have a family of their own. After several painfully unsuccessful attempts to conceive a child naturally, they decide to pursue an adoption in Russia. Driven by their longing, and after many months of preparation and waiting, they set off to meet their future daughter, Nina, at an orphanage thousands of miles from Germany. They have no idea yet that they are only at the beginning of a grueling ordeal against the Russian authorities—and facing the greatest challenge to their relationship. As Marie and Peter fight for their future child, the question arises: Are we still pursuing the same goal? Each on their own—and, above all, as a couple?
