Synopsis

The protagonist, Kaja, is a seal trainer and keeper at the seal centre at Baltic coast. Keeping it secret from the others, she decides to become a single mother by impregnating herself with

the sperm from an anonymous donor through an IVF procedure. She overcomes financial and ethical concerns, yet it turns out that it is too late – she is barren. Kaja faces a dilemma if she should adopt an egg cell of another woman. She wins the struggle within her – whose child will it be? – and becomes pregnant. Stress causes a miscarriage. When she is about to make yet another try, she stumbles upon yet another, totally unexpected, obstacle: an unfavourable change in the law. Will Kaja find the way to have a baby after all? Seals, with whom Kaja has a powerful bond, accompany her at all key moments of her life.
