When a woman discovers she cannot carry a child, she turns to her sister with a difficult request: to become the surrogate for her and her husband’s baby. What she sees as a clear, medical solution proves hard to accept for both her sister and her husband. As they try to navigate the decision, their different ways of understanding the situation begin to surface, testing their bond and raising questions about family, the body, and how far one can go for love.
