Seven films on the love-lives of people round the world. 4: Parents and Children
What do people have children for? And now that they can choose whether or not to have children, do they really want them? Parents in Kenya, India, Italy and Hungary talk about how they plan their families.
Beside Lake Victoria , Kenyan men tell how children bring social respect; in Madras, an Indian couple restage their marriage so their children can be present; in Italy, a group of women explain why abortion is so much more popular than the pill; and in Hungary, parents calculate the cost of a second child, and decide to spend the money on themselves.
