This is what it's all about.

Geneva 2019, EMMA (42), married to MARC (35). After 15 years of marriage without children, Emma becomes pregnant. Following the examinations, it was confirmed that the child would be born with Down Syndrome. The events accelerate with this result, different people intervene to help Emma to make the decision to abort or to keep the baby. Her husband, Marc, does not want to have a disabled baby. Emma suffers from a psychological crisis to consider suicide. What will be the final decision? Abort or keep the child?
