A documentary that observes the daily lives of three LGBTQ+ families through the perspectives of their children. With an intimate and attentive camera, it explores family life as it is shaped by care, affection, listening, and presence rather than by fixed structures or traditional models. Small gestures, shared moments, and ordinary routines reveal how bonds are formed and sustained within homes built on chosen kinship and mutual respect. By focusing on proximity and tenderness, the film gently dismantles normative ideas of family, offering a sensitive portrait of domestic spaces where love, identity, and belonging are continuously negotiated and reaffirmed.
