Contergan plot

At the end of the 1950s, lawyer Paul Wegener is delighted that his new partner Bauer is bringing in new business clients. Paul's wife Vera is expecting a baby, but when the child is born, the parents must determine that their child is deformed. Paul is just working on a case where a child with serious abnormalities was also born.

But this is a drug produced by one of the companies that his business partner Bauer introduced. Paul begins to fight against the large corporation with all the means at his disposal...
