Overview

Sasha makes her living as a professional surrogate mother. Contrary to the usual practice, she moves in with her new customers until the baby is born. She finds herself in a different world — in the house of rich government official Vadim and his wife Marina. For them, Sasha is merely a “container” – their new toy. But what was intended as a safe way of caring for the future child turns out to be a test for everyone involved. Behind the luxurious facade of the elite hides unsightly secrets. And Sasha has a secret of her own. Container was selected by 2021 MIP Drama Awards, the annual premium drama showcase offering international buyers an exclusive first-look at a curated selection of the most anticipated series in production around the world.
