Overview
A young girl is raised in a dysfunctional family constantly on the run from the FBI. Living in poverty, she comes of age guided by her drunkard, ingenious father who distracts her with magical stories to keep her mind off the family's dire state, and her selfish, nonconformist mother who has no intention of raising a family, along with her younger brother and sister, and her other older sister. Together, they fend for each other as they mature in an unorthodox journey that is their family life.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tender but unflinching portrait of childhood resilience within a chaotic, loving family, where survival and struggle become the foundation for unexpected grace. The film balances heartbreak with moments of wonder, asking what love means when it's tangled up with neglect.
