Mother-in-Law, Give Back My Child

An accomplished metropolitan pediatrician anticipates a joyful motherhood with her husband until pregnancy brings her superstitious mother-in-law into the home. Harboring backward patriarchal prejudices, the overbearing matriarch harasses the expectant mother and covertly laces her meals with toxic folk concoctions intended to alter the unborn child's gender.

The resulting poisoning causes a devastating medical emergency and the loss of the child. Disgusted by her cowardly spouse's refusal to hold his mother accountable, the grieving physician initiates divorce proceedings with her brother's support.
