The documentary presents his journey from making the nest to teach his children the basics of survival. Documentary also shows the deadly elements of nature like large killer whales, leopard seals, egg-stealing birds and the extreme weather conditions of Antarctica. But there is nothing which can stop our beloved Steve. Parenting is not an easy task. There are many difficulties that are shown which we could only imagine. This documentary shows three stages of Steve's life which are as a bachelor, then as a partner and at last as a father.
