Director Claire Norowzian, along with an all female crew, has created this hilarious new film for The Guardian Labs and Maltesers; a film dedicated to working mothers across the nation who juggle working life with raising children.

At the focal point of the piece is comedian and mother Jessica Fostekew who vents out some truths about the everyday stresses and wonders of balancing work projects with being a mum. From the trillions of shark related facts coming from her child to the never ending school WhatsApp groups notifications, it can get a bit much.

However this film celebrates the working mum and her incredible ability to adapt and master all situations, sometimes with a little help from the babysitter or a partner, and for those champions we salute them with a bag of Maltesers.

The director had this to say about working on the project: “I loved working with comedian Jessica Fostekew and an all female team to create a funny snapshot of what it's like to be a working mum and our insane juggle. Along with the rest of the sh*t, literally and metaphorically!”
