Auschwitz, 1943. Ana Kaminski walks through the camp gates with her frightened friend Esther Pasternak. Approaching the line of newcomers, Ana steps forward and quietly declares that she is a midwife, and Esther is her assistant. They receive tattoos with numbers and are sent to the maternity barrack. There, amidst horror and death, Ana delivers thousands of births in inhuman conditions, trying to save as many mothers and infants as possible. When the camp launches the 'Lebensborn' program - to select 'Aryan' children and give them to German families - the friends find a way to resist: they secretly tattoo newborns with their mothers' numbers in the hope that someday families will be reunited.
Until one early morning, Ana notices the rounded belly under Esther's thin striped dress...
