synopsis
The second series of the project on fostering and parenting delved much deeper into the darker corners of family life. This episode follows the Buchar family, who have found themselves in foster care. But what do the parents think of when their biological offspring becomes seriously ill? Do they feel that taking in non-biological children might not have been such a good idea? And how do they deal with the fact that even retarded or otherwise hedonic children will one day start to light up their calves and look for love, and want sex?"The full Nest represents education in the best sense of the word, that is, precisely what belongs to the main tasks of public television. It is not an observation, a time-consuming observation of different foster families, but a full-fledged "manual" that tries to show the topic of adopting and raising children from all sides. Significantly, Czech Television filmed it in cooperation with the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and the regions of the Czech Republic."
Quote from Reflex.
