Trevor Silverstein, a writer, filmmaker and improviser based in Berlin, has found himself stuck in Hermosa Beach, California with his two 60-year-old parents after borders were closed and travel bans were implemented in the United States. This has had a massive impact on his life, what with being separated from his partner and having to quarantine with his parents who are both high-risk individuals. Trevor goes on to share his experience of quarantining within his own home, getting into remote podcasting, shopping for the family and the huge benefit of online therapy at this time.

Lily, a friend and historian, is 5 months pregnant with her first child. She speaks about the lack of information around COVID-19 in pregnant women and children, how partners currently not allowed in the delivery room and the importance of staying mentally happy for the sake of the baby. She also shares her ways of staying fit and entertained while in confinement and the value of staying in touch with friends and family via video call.

Henri and Virginia are new parents, with their little boy being born just days before quarantine measures were set in place. They give insight into the workings of their little family during this time, from being mentally prepared for alone time with their newborn and the difficulty of not being able to share moments with friends and family to the value of a good shower and disinfectant spray in every corner of the home.

Finally, Kate Leismer, a writer, poet, and storyteller living in Berlin shares the trials and benefits of co-parenting in the time of Corona. Kate is newly separated from her partner and explains the relief that shared custody provides - especially in a time like this, how she relied on Kita and public spaces to keep her two young children entertained and how living in a city makes quarantining with children especially difficult.
