In a new ideal world everything is tested. Including women. Before giving birth, women must go through a test that reveals not only the health of the foetus, but also it’s psychological predispositions. And the system makes the decision: does society need this human being? If not, the foetus is terminated in the womb. Mary and Eve, two women waiting for their first-born, have opposing views on motherhood.
