Family Nostalgia

Our childhood memories are in some ways nested within our toys. By playing with them as AFOLs we are taken back to our past.

We see a futuristic bedroom in which siblings recreate and relive their happy family moments.

In his puberty, the son was playing video games with his dad and built, being a TFOL, one of his babyhood moments as a birthday surprise for his sister. Meanwhile, their mother was trying to get his son organize his bedroom.
