Mutmaz is 35, married and has two children from her first husband who died a few years ago. Her new husband does not want any more children. They live in a shed and hope to buy a house with the compensation, maybe even put some money aside for a rainy day. No one in the village knows what Mutmaz is doing, not even the closest relatives, for otherwise she would be banished from the village. Mutmaz pays the parents of her late husband to look after her children. Her present husband works as a ricksha, he misses her and comes every summer for a visit. She misses him also and feels uneasy without her children. At this time Mutmaz is one month pregnant. The parents to be are in the USA, she did not even see them - they sent a frozen embryo.
