Director Statement

In my film, I wanted to show my personal story and reveal an important social problem: many families are not complete, where there is only one mother or one father. In my film, the family can be said to be "too full" because the child essentially has three parents who have equal rights to raise him or her. I wanted to say with this story that any child has the right to normal communication and spending time with their parents, and adults should not transfer their problems to their child's life
