Becoming Parents
Muslims Ali and Claire are expecting their first child. They are nervous about becoming parents, but just days after the birth, Ali's parents, sister and sister-in-law descend on them to practise their version of the Muslim tradition of 40 days. Relatives and loved ones help the new parents, and especially the new mum, with the transition to parenthood by looking after them so they can be free to care for the baby. For Claire this practice is going to be especially valuable as she lost her own mother when she was a teenager and doesn't have any maternal help from her side of the family.
Settling Down
Christians Grace and Jess are engaged to be married and are about to move into their first home together: a canal boat. Saying goodbye to family, friends and the church community they have been a part of for the last five years is a huge change, and they are relying on their faith to help them make the move. In the past, the pair have struggled with being gay and Christian, and they have not always found acceptance. Once settled on their new boat, they look to find a church and a community that will welcome them.

Now he's happily living with his new partner of 12 years, Rita, and the bar mitzvah is the perfect opportunity to take stock of his life and make the most of growing older.
