ABOUT THE THEME

What makes the perfect family? Two parents? An address? Brothers, sisters, grandparents? Or all those people that you were introduced to as “aunt” and “uncle” when you were younger? Is it a home where you have your favourite things? Maybe even a smell. We are surrounded by images of the perfect family — and faced with difficulties and tragedies of families too. You might find it unbearable to live with them, but can you afford to live without them? For some people, home is the best place on earth. For others, it is a place of conflict, pain and struggle. What do you think makes home and family important? And, are all families difficult? If you were to pick a family from the TV, which one would you say was most like yours?
