Synopsis

Melody, 28 years old, decides to rent out her body in order to get the money she needs to realize her dream: opening a hair-dressing salon. to do so, she accepts to carry the child of Emily, a rich English woman of 48 who can no longer have children. to make sure everything goes well and keep an eye on her future child, Emily decides to welcome melody into her home. Although they first appear to come from completely different worlds, they end up adopting each other. Evidently, the bonds that emerge during this double maternity create all sorts of doubts.
