The film also shows how the interactions of emotions might develop in the future. When every family member has its own personal AI assistant and a mental health App that tries to regulate and navigate everyone through an extreme challenging moment in their lives.

„What Liba felt“ shows that a family can even grow stronger together, if you learn to tolerate how others handle an extreme moment in life.
