Penguin Habits

"Mom saves penguins" – that’s how Emilia’s job would be described by her son, Antek. The day has come for Emilia to depart for a research station in Antarctica, and the boy must stay at home under his grandfather’s care. As events begin to spiral out of control, Emilia is faced with a difficult dilemma – can she balance her dreams and professional ambitions with being a mother?
