Three couples in Vienna have children at around the same time. They're all in their mid-30s, successful, cool and live in a popular part of town.

And they're absolutely certain that you can have children without becoming bourgeois. But the reality tells a different story. Between career and kindergarten, Apple and alternative lifestyles, the satire plays cleverly with hipster clichés and mercilessly points up the gap between the old self-image and the new bourgeoisie.Read moreLess
