The Science of Dad

A film by Larissa Klinker

What does becoming a father do to men? Scientists investigate how men change physically and psychologically during pregnancy, birth and the first years of being a dad. This film goes on a journey of discovery and asks brain researchers, gynaecologists, sociologists and psychologists about their findings. And it accompanies three men in Germany, France and Sweden during their adventure of becoming a father.
