A Danish couple, Henriette and Gert, are to adopt 4 year old Masha, and her 2 year old brother, Roba, from their African parents, Sinkenesh and Hussen. Each family has their own motive for choosing adoption - the African parents wish to secure two of their children’s future with material wealth, as well as economic compensation. But Gert and Henriette neither brought presents, nor lets the couple say farewell to their children at the airport. The Director, Katrine W. Kjær, is with them on the entire journey. In Ethiopia, along with the two couples, she meets the harsh realities behind the latest decade’s adoption boom. There is a lot of money in adoption, you see.
