“He was inside the fire,” said Strømdahl extremely. “I saw a child – in Norway, we say Dandelion childrenAs ‘Dandelion children’ growing from the sidewalk. And so much school smart, the street was smart. He was so aware of its surroundings and learned how to walk his reality. ”

It is a reality living by millions of Americans on economic margins. The film begins with a statistics read by Mikal: “The official poverty rate in the United States is 11.5%, ie about 34 million people live in poverty.”
And this, many low-income families, due to the lack of access to favorable apartments, they apply to hotels or motels to remain long-term. “
And this is equally applied to the same extent: “10 children live in households with at least one parent with 7.5 million, 7.5 million, alcohol abuse disorder.”

As most Americans ignore this life, but the local Strømdahl, first drawn to explore them as a photo student. In the early 2000s, in the early 2000s, Bruoklyn’s section of the South Williamsburg stayed in a “flouse” in the South Williamsburg.
“I need to know the people living there. After the first stay, I returned year later and a year later.” “Residents, slowly, I was my friends to know each other well. I started taking pictures and I had done it for years.”
“These hotels have a minimum service, Strømdahl continues.” Nothing is the best thing for nothing, but everyone has a safe place and a roof over the heads of the city. I stayed with a deep feeling of injustice for people who stayed there. I also began to investigate how the demolition works and how the housing situation was. I was more aware of the sustainable housing crisis. And this hotel is not unique in New York, but every state and every major city has very reasonable hotels that they offer weekly or monthly rates. “

During the journey around the United States, Michal and Parents, Jason and Tonya passed roads.
“Mikal was 11 when I met him for the first time, and my room was in front of the family’s room,” he said. “During this project, I met many children. There are thousands of children in hotels and other (similar). He was born in the hotel. He learned to grow in the aisles and was born in the poverty and dependency in which his parents suffered.”
Strømdahl still began to feel pictures that they could not find their lives enough.
“I thought the photo is not enough,” he says. “I felt I wanted to step back and tell the family’s stories about their terms … There’s something about the sounds, there is something man to have more ownerships and give more a story.”

The resulting family portrait is one of the deep psychological complexities.

Again, the gaps never reach the level of George-and-Marta and the courage; Perhaps the most common words spoken between parents – and Jason, Tonya and Michal – “I love you”.
Although it is unprecedented in the film, it is inevitably a silent partner to the dynamics. “I wanted to make a film with the prospects of Michael,” he said. “I thought the abuse of his parents, how he did, and how he would be and how it would be and his copies and intensified and I want to show them what they want.”
