The coffee is fair trade, the vegetables are organic, the ice cream is vegan, the apartments large inner city lofts, the computers and mobile phones from that ‚fruit‘ company and their careers high-flying. So when three professionally successful couples in their 30‘s, all friends, decide having a baby would be the perfect addition to their hip and modern lifestyles, what could possibly go wrong? Austrian dry humour paired with acute observation comes to the fore as the sudden cold showers and rude awakenings of reality hit these ill-prepared and all but clueless new mothers and fathers: morning sickness, road testing prams, auditioning playgroups, conflicting philosophies of child rearing, other parents‘ offspring, self doubt and relationships tested to breaking point and beyond as those little bundles of joy turn very quickly from lifestyle brand extensions into non-refundable, non-returnable projects of a lifetime.
