Very few sets of triplets are born each year in Denmark, as many couples choose to have fetal reduction due to possible high risk complications. This documentary series follows the lives of three families who have or are expecting triplets, each representing different kinds of family life across Denmark. From great anxieties and great joys in pregnancy, the unique miracle of a triplet childbirth to growing pains, first words and first days at school — all multiplied by three. This DR series is one of the most streamed in the young and modern target audience, perhaps because it is an authentic mirror of the time in life when one becomes parents. A high degree of identification is offered, mirroring concerns, considerations and feelings associated with parenthood, but also a large degree of fascination about the joys, the frustrations and number of diapers changed being threefold. The series returns annually, with some families leaving and others joining. It provides a degree of recognition for the viewer, but also development and new story lines. The production is mostly self-filmed, which makes it very authentic and honest, and most importantly it is told with great love for the brave participants — big and small.
