Twelve-year-old Jools dreams of dancing on stage with confidence and without the judgement of others. Twelve-year-old Collin plays the piano and is worried that his father might not accept this non-stereotypically masculine hobby and his different view of the world. Ten-year-old Fien wants her beloved sister Hannah to get well – the thirteen-year-old struggles with an eating disorder, which for younger Fien takes the shape of a wicked crocodile. These warm and moving documentaries remind us that families need to stick together, and that sometimes it is worth connecting others and accepting their help.
