What makes a family?

What is a perfect family? Does it exist? Or are they all perfect and some are not, or is it about us as individuals and how we see it?

All these questions merge into one premise which is ACCEPTANCE. Acceptance at all levels, from the smallest to the largest.

All acceptance goes through a process, and in this film we see how, from an abrupt starting situation, the small steps of this acceptance we are talking about are taken.

It brings a lot of value to our generation. Knowing how to lose and knowing how to win, showing feelings in order to improve, knowing how to express them so that they don't become harmful or go down other paths by not showing those emotions.

This family is going to have funny, sad, shocking and uncomfortable situations, and all from the perspective of a 12 year old girl. Highly recommended.
