What’s the plot of Netflix’s What We Wanted?

On the surface, Alice and Niklas are the sort of couple who seem to have everything. Their apparent happiness, though, belies a deep sadness: they are desperate for a child of their own. 

After several failed IVF attempts, the duo decide to book a luxury holiday to Sardinia. Their hope? That some time away in the sun will help them to clear their minds, and set aside their deep unfulfilled desire.

There, though, they meet a family from Austria that seems to have everything they ever wished for. Or do they?

Because, as you’ve probably guessed, appearances can be deceiving…
