In this documentary, six protagonists share their personal experiences of abortion and sterilization, from unplanned pregnancy to becoming a happy mother, and vice versa, from wanting a child to regretting motherhood.


With openness and humor, taboo topics are discussed, provocative questions are answered, and political laws are challenged. From discussing the challenges of balancing care work and career, the ecological footprint and sustainability with children, selfishness and adoption, to feelings of regret and freedom, lack of privacy, and crumbling partnerships.


The protagonists criticize societal norms, challenge prejudices, and invite us to reflect on our own perceptions and thought patterns about parenthood. ME TIME was the first film, that shown at the Fusion Festival in Lerz, Germany.
