“Three pioneers, one vision: the birth of IVF.”

In a British laboratory during the 1970s, nurse Jean Purdy (Thomasin McKenzie), surgeon Patrick Steptoe (Bill Nighy), and scientist Robert Edwards (James Norton) attempt what everyone says is impossible: creating human life outside the body. Years of failed experiments and public ridicule test their conviction that infertility need not be permanent. By the end, Jean stands alone in the lab at dawn, looking at the petri dish that will change everything.
