Synopsis
Through these portraits, we wish to question the model of the nuclear family and take a plural look at family realities. Focusing sometimes on the point of view of the parents, sometimes on that of the children, the seven short films of this series address family tensions, the unspoken, the implications of divorce and coming out, but also the possibilities of reconciliation. and the love that manifests, often awkwardly.
