Things I Know To Be True
‘People aren’t perfect. Even the people you love. Especially the people you love.’ –Rosie Price
For thirty years, Fran and Bob have worked hard, built a home and raised four incredible children. They are the typical working class Australian family, that dreams of a better life through sacrifice, love and the hope that you can have it all. Now, with the children grown and leaving home, they are left wondering who they are without them.
Things I Know to be True is a raw and honest reflection of family life in the Australian suburbs. Over the course of one year, we journey with the Price family as they each struggle to establish their identities while chasing their dream of a better life.
How easy is it to accept the reality of growing up and moving on, even if you’re not ready to?
