Experiencing Interruptions?

Post Partum

Mats has always wanted to become a father but when the time finally comes it doesn´t turn out the way he envisioned. The baby cries a lot and relies on his mother, and Mats feels left out in the new family dynamic. The pressure of being a good father grows alongside the feeling of inadequacy. Post Partum is a short documentary about one man´s experience of becoming a father for the first time and deals with feelings a lot of new dads can experience - but few of them dare to speak of.

Post Partum is an exam project by students at the bachelor study in TV-Production at the University of Bergen, Norway.
