A family that lives in a population of just over ten thousand inhabitants and about thirty minutes from Barcelona, sees its everyday life shaken by the political events that take place in Catalonia during the months of September and October 2017. A story of maturation and care. A story of a family that learns to break up and separate without hurting each other and without causing trauma. A family that learns to understand the thoughts and attitudes of others as everything gets more and more tense outside their home. A family that does everything possible to talk and understand each other, because, deep down, they love and respect each other. A family that will find a way to forgive and heal the wounds produced throughout this process.

Documented human suffering is never easy to view or read about and is understandably triggering for many people, but it can be educational, and education is a key to change.

Being a holiday with Christian origins, much of its media consists of straight white families or straight white romances. Luckily, modern years have been bringing with them plenty of POC and LGBTQ+ representation that the holidays so desperately need.
Eternals is an interesting concept and unique visuals, but slow pacing and rushed character development suggests it should have been a mini-series.
KPop Demon Hunters took social media by storm recently—is it truly as good as people have hyped it up to be?
