When Thomas meets Mathilde, he knows at once that she is the woman of
his life. His dream is to settle down and start a family
like any other couple, but Mathilde reveals that she cannot give
birth. As it happens, Thomas works in a clinic which specialises

Professor Cardoze, and the latter proposes a solution which will
achieve a miracle birth. Sure enough, Mathilde succeeds in having
a child, but in early childhood their daughter begins to show some
strange characteristics...
