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.
