Logline

OUR CHILD

Ellen and Katharina are happily married and want to start a family. Thanks to Wolfgang's help and artificial insemination, Katharina is later able to give birth to Franz. The Child Welfare Office, however, delays Ellen's request for adoption. The women's relationship is already strained when fate delivers a blow that churns up the lives of everyone involved. A fight for "our child" ensues.
