Building Family Ties

Overview

Four people who don’t know each other, getting together for a very ordinary week of “family” holidays every year. The normative middle-class “family” they form spends time in seaside towns from the Mediterranean coast to Brittany. The fifty-something “parents” and the two twenty-something “children” were filmed over four summers from 2017 to 2020. Over the course of this collaborative process, the characters take shape and bonds are forged.
