A man and a woman come to adopt a child. They enter a huge building and are led by an odd scientist into a hall where they must first choose from dozens of still limbless fetuses and then from a wide array of spare parts (arms, legs, eyes...). That done, the incomplete child is taken away from them and the future parents attend the birth of their baby taking place on the stage of a theater. They finally go away with their offspring, happy but a bit worried : he does not have eyes.
