In the aftermath of a mysterious disaster, the few humans left find themselves unable to reproduce the species. All hope lies in the hands of five women who have developed the technology to create human life outside the body. But the researchers cannot reach agreement on how and if to release it. In the absence of a consensus, they immerse themselves in the study of pleasure.
