Each year all over the world the number of families who can't have their biological children is growing. While in Russia there are nearly 500 000 orphans who wait for their chance to find adoptive parents. In Russia the adoption isn’t so popular. The only chance these children had was international adoption. But December 25, 2012 President Putin has signed Dima Yakovlev’s Bill, banning American and some European citizens from adopting Russian children. Katrina Morris from US was one of those, who couldn’t accomplish the adoption process of Natasha, a five-year old girl with Down syndrome. Among other thousands of Russian orphans Natasha is unlikely to ever be adopted, but Katrina goes on struggling for her. Russian journalists and social activists Alexander and Julia Kolesnichenko are trying to help her. Will they be able to get Natasha out, struggling face-to-face with the billion-dollars Russian orphanage system and being involved into international political games?
