In a neonatal intensive care unit at the University Medical Center in Groningen, a team of pediatricians is followed in their daily efforts to save the lives of critically ill newborns. Thanks to modern medical technology they can do more and more, but at the same time they encounter the limits of their profession. Should they do everything that is technically possible? The doctors express their thoughts, ideas, worries, and doubts about the narrow margins within which they must make their decisions. These are not arrogant physicians, but caring and sensitive people who are deeply aware of the responsibility society has placed on their shoulders.
