Plot: Doctor Rie Sonezaki (Miho Kanno) is a fertility specialist who has earned the moniker “Obstetrics Joan of Arc” for her willingness to do whatever it takes to help women have babies, even if it means risking her career by violating the policy most Japanese obstetricians have long held against assisting with the use of surrogate mothers. However, she has an ally in her superior Goro Kyokawa (Seiichi Tanabe), who also wants to see the system change.

Surrogacy is highly controversial in Japan, and while it’s technically legal, there are very few obstetricians willing to go through with it. There is also a significant social stigma attached to allowing another woman to bear one’s child, even though this attitude would seem to compound Japan’s ever-worsening low birthrate problem.
