"Birth tourism" is becoming more and more popular in the world. There is a whole industry of services provided to women who are "looking for a better destiny" in the US for their yet unborn children. But is everything as cloudless as it seems?

A pregnant Ukrainian young woman goes to the US to give birth because she has just discovered jus soli: whoever is born on the American soil gets American citizenship automatically. During her travels, she faces different opinions about the legality and rationality of such a trip. Pregnant women from China go to the US to give birth because in China, the number of children per family is government-regulated. Some Americans think it violates their constitution. Having understood the pros and cons of both citizenships, she revises her civic position.
