In a crowded, formal courtroom, a pregnant woman in a simple dress is on her knees, crying out for a safe place and explaining that she has no one left. A sharp-looking, wealthy businesswoman standing nearby complains to her associates that this woman is “ruining the atmosphere” for her important guests and demands her removal. Suddenly, a gentleman in a suit walks into the center of the courtroom. The arrogant woman expects him to take her side, but he places a supportive hand on the pregnant woman’s shoulder instead. He looks directly at the businesswoman and says with piercing authority: “I have known her longer than this place has existed.” The businesswoman’s eyes widen in absolute shock and regret as she realizes the immense connection between them.
