The Barnes-Sharrock clan is a neurodiverse family living on the suburban fringe, dreaming of something a little bigger.

Janet Sharrock and Brent “Buddha” Barnes have five children between them, having blended their families Brady Bunch style, with a cavalcade of pets making for a busy household. But being neurodiverse comes with both perks and challenges. Family members have phenomenal memory, profound creativity, and technical prowess, and while feeling the same working-class struggles as all Australian families, there is an invisibility when you don’t fit into the mould of a neurotypical family.

Shot over 5 years, Sari Braithwaite’s intimate slice-of-life documentary paints a humanistic, often hilarious and touching portrait of love, life, and a family unlike any other.

Please note, this session will screen with Open Captions.
