The Life of My Father
Luboš Hrůza was the most influential stage designer in Scandinavia in the 1970s and 1980s, and was one of the leading factors in changing the conceptual way of using space on stage. He brought in a new dramaturgy and very much formed the development of theater in the 70s. He became the head of stage design at the Nationaltheatret in Oslo for 20 years. While still not speaking Norwegian, he was to become known to the Norwegian public as “Ibsen's Brother” or “the revival of Ibsen” through his famous interpretations of this author's plays.

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.
