The Friedmanns
A moving and inspirational drama about a family beset by tragedy but determined to rebuild their lives
In a tragic accident, Mischko Friedmann loses Emma, the love of his life and the mother of his three children: Maya, Tilda and Carla. The gap left by Emma’s death is huge and Mischko has his hands full, helping his kids navigate their grief and the obstacle course that is growing up. But somehow life must go on, and so it does – at full speed. Tilda falls head over heels in love with bad boy Rokko, oblivious to his involvement with criminals; 11-year-old Carla hides a secret: she identifies as a boy, and as rebellious teenager Maya threatens to go off the rails, Mischko makes a momentous discovery that once again puts his family to the test.
Emotional, authentic, and surprising, this very human drama confronts grief and conflict head on, and shows that with loss comes hope, and that every end can also be a beginning.
