Weekend Family Trailer
The trailer highlights the goofy, whacky, messy yet adorable relationship between Fred and his daughters. No matter how much they have the potential to get under his skins, he tends to calm himself down and solves it all as an adult. He has to juggle his family life with his new love life with Emma who wishes to become a good step mother for the kids; however, they already seem to have a gap between them due to a baby pig. With the trailer that has recently surfaced, one can always determine the challenges faced by each one of them in the upcoming project.
Weekend Family Plot
Fred has a super loving girlfriend Emmanuelle or Emma, who has studied child psychology and is on her path to get a Ph.D. The duo gets to know that they are expecting a baby and Fred’s joy knows no bounds. Everything sounds nice and perfect. However, there is a twist.
Fred already has three young daughters and makings things more complicated, from three different mothers, which can be identified with their completely distinct behaviors . From Laurence, he has Clara; from Marie-Ange, he has Victoire; and from Helena, he has Romy. The daughters are young, fifteen, twelve and nine respectively and come to stay with their dad on weekends.
Now, Emma, with zero one on one experience with kids, has to learn to be a step-mom, but not the Cinderella kind. And equal involvements of Fred’s exes and his best friend just adds to the drama.
