Family Stories Untold is an animated documentary, in which seven different women's stories about family are woven into one life-long piece. It begins with Iida, 9, who after her parents' nasty divorce helps Mummy find a new man on Tinder, and ends with Lisbeth, who has been forced into a retirement home by her children. It's a story about a life in which we don't have the courage to voice our opinions, desires and expectations.
