What happens when mom has the big job and dad stays home with the kids?. Over 18 months and 5 cities-Portland, D.C., Nashville, Seattle and L.A.-this timely documentary follows four American families as they navigate the trials and triumphs of at-home fatherhood and mothers as main breadwinners. We journey with each family as they tackle major life changes-a birth, a lay-off, a cross-country move, and a mid-life crisis.. In a world where the majority of Americans still believe kids are better off when mom stays home, and that a good father should work hard to provide for his family, how will these families fare? Will resentments and doubt fester? Will love endure?. Official Selection at the NYC Independent Film Festival, the Copenhagen International Documentary Festival, and the Austin Film Festival. (less)
