37° – Our Child and the War – Surrogacy in Ukraine

In Germany, surrogacy is banned, but in Ukraine, the business with baby bliss is booming. But now there is a war going on. A danger for parents to be, surrogate mothers and the babies.

Sven and Doreen from Saxony have wanted a child for ten years; their last hope is a Ukrainian surrogate mother. But as she waits for the birth, heavily pregnant, the war begins.

“37°” accompanies the couple to Ukraine to see their child and surrogate mother.
A production of ndF Entertainment on behalf of ZDF.
