In this conversation

Mélanie talks about pregnancy and birth in Norway: unfamiliar approaches, worries and the trust she gradually developed. Thomas shares his experience of animation production and the differences he has encountered in communication and working habits.

Two stories meet around the same question: how do you move forward when familiar reference points shift and unexpected things keep happening?

From a distressing, mistaken medical announcement in France to a calmer everyday life in Oslo — or is it? — and discovering Norwegian consensus, they share an honest account of learning to live differently abroad.
