The number of children born through in vitro fertilization (IVF) has doubled in Russia over the past eight years: approximately 160,000 procedures are performed annually. Reproductive technologies are shifting the age limits for childbearing, and surrogacy is transforming the concept of family altogether. The main thing is money and desire. But is everything so simple and rosy?

Journalist and documentary filmmaker Inna Denisova writes about how the fantasy world of movies and TV series intersects with real life—her own and that of dozens of other women and men. But more importantly, Make Me Exactly shows how these stories are changing our understanding of gender, psychology, technology, law, ethics, and the meaning of life.
