Review by Bob Ignizio
Some people probably shouldn't have kids. Actress Thea Barfoed (Paprika Steen) is one such person. Her alcoholism has put her children in danger in the past, and even after a stint in rehab she doesn't exactly come across as mother of the year material. In fact, her main interest in the children seems to be more about what they can give to her emotionally than anything she can do for them. Nonetheless, Thea's ex-husband Christian (Michael Falch) wants the kids to know their mother, and warily agrees to let her see them.
