Babython

When an infertile fertility expert working for a famous IVF “resort clinic” in Greece, gets another woman’s positive result by mistake, she gets trapped in a fake pregnancy which causes a series of surprising and unforeseen events – eventually risking her job, her marriage and her mother’s life.

Gabriella (40) is considered a “miracle doctor”. Working for GenetiX, a luxurious IVF and obstetrics resort-clinic, she has solved the most inexplicable infertility cases and has delivered hundreds of babies for infertile couples from all the world. Yearning for a baby for more than 2 years with her husband Aris, a male nurse at the same clinic, they have tried everything. When she finally gets a positive blood result that soon turns out to be false, she can’t find the courage to tell the truth. To make things worse, Genetix has a new German director, who’s sun- intolerant and performance driven. “Who would go to a dentist with rotten teeth Gabriella”? He pushes her to become a mother as patients seem to prefer parent – doctors more. Fake it till you make it, isn’t that what they say? Gabriella, trapped, has to stay calm and keep lying. She'll need morning sickness, mood swings and a fake belly. Through this inconceivable journey she'll be forced to deliver the truth – or a real baby.

Have you ever felt like you were trying to be a perfect professional, a perfect mother, a perfect woman? Gabriella has been perfect all of her life. She’s like a modern Wonder Woman who lacks the most common superpower – procreating. She and Aris have tried passionate sex, moonlight sex, tantric sex… but it has been impossible for them to conceive. Eventually, they give into her speciality - a secret IVF. We meet her on her birthday when she learns that she’s finally pregnant. The happy news became public faster than she thought and suddenly she’s like a poster child for the clinic and a dream daughter for her family. She can finally help poor couples that have been cut out of the public system and Aris gets benefits too. This pregnancy is like a new superpower. When she learns that by mistake, she was given the wrong result and she’s not really pregnant she decides to keep it to herself. After all, diverse couples are flooding from all over the world seeking her help… so her reputation is at stake. As the series evolves, she regrets this foolish impulse and wants to take it back, but every time she tries, the lie just grows bigger. She needs to stay calm and keep lying. Well, it’s not going to be that easy. Not with a boss bullying everyone, an intrusive grandchild-obsessed mother with a heart condition and a family with no sense of boundaries. Not when Aris’ dad impregnates his much younger second wife. Or when Lucia, the cunning lab technician who has a secret crush on Aris, discovers the fake name Gabriella used to take the test and blackmails her. Not even when Aris discovers the truth and all seems lost. At the same time, Gabriella delivers the baby of a Syrian woman who dies at birth and she’s left with a baby girl that no one claims. As the seasons progress, we will be desperate for her to hold her own baby. Maybe she gets caught and she loses everything. Maybe she holds more than one baby. What is certain, is that after this journey, a new couple is born.
