From the perspective of a child, it tells the life of a child in a divorced family. The narrative is plain, true, and delicate. The little girl is not a sweetheart. Except for the night when her parents, stepfather and stepmother didn't accompany her, she never cried. Covered with plainness - the happiness in the film is all real.
From stealing the flowers from my mother (those lost by my father), to the fact that I would rather spend a day with my stepfather and stepmother than cherish a rare day with my mother.
In conclusion, this is an anti-divorce movie.
ps: The film clearly shows what children of divorced families need

    Margo: Were you really?

    Margo: Rea... really?

    Lincoln: [shows Margo his bitten finger] It could've left a scar.

    [Margo laughs]

    Lincoln: It's that bad. It could've left a scar.

    Margo: Right, yeah. So, is it quite traumatic for you being back here with the turtles?

    Lincoln: [interrupting] It was. This is kinda like therapy for me.

    Margo: Oh! It is? Okay.

    Lincoln: Meeting the beast again.

    [Margo laughs]
