Motherland background

Motherland

The program explores the challenges and hardships of middle-class motherhood, delving into the cutthroat competitiveness and unglamorized realities of parenting beyond the idealized and socially acceptable portrayals.

Meet a group of parents with different approaches to parenting. Amanda, the queen bee, is meticulous and organized, with a spotless home and a perfectly managed schedule. In contrast, Liz prioritizes her children's freedom and creativity, often allowing them to engage in unstructured play. Julia, an event organizer, is organized but struggles to keep up with the demands of her mother, Marion, who has decided to stop acting as their free childminder and school-run taxi. Meanwhile, Kevin, a stay-at-home dad, has found a new passion in parenting and is embracing his role, much to the annoyance of the other mothers.
