Synopsis

Baby or career? Is running back to work with a new born baby in the house careerist? Is becoming a full-time mother anti-feminist? Can fathers substitute mothers as infant caretakers? Shot in the Czech Republic, where three year's long maternity leave is the norm, Iceland, where a "Daddy quota" for parental leave has been introduced, and the US, which is the only developed country with no paid parental leave, this documentary explores the reality of three families whose lives and child raising strategies are shaped by the different social norms of childcare in their own countries.
