Synopsis:
The innocent gaze of a new-born really can inspire hope. Alas, maternity leave has turned out to be tricky: hormones and sleep deprivation lead to overload, anxiety and pain.

Three Questions for the Director

Kinder kriegen ist so schön! Vollgepumpt mit Hormonen ist die Haut dünn wie Brotpapier, fehlender Schlaf macht einen zur somnambulen Reiz-Reaktions-Maschine. Wie gemein, dass das Lächeln eines Kindes all dies wegwischt.
