Made in four sections introduced by captions which tell a story, the film goes behind-the-scenes at the popular Reality TV show X Factor, and gathers expectant, emotional commentary from partents accompanying their children to auditions. A marginal but spectacular picture emerges, of the multitude of contrasting feelings which pulses around the program. The artist evokes an intimate and empathic vision from a controversial contemporary media phenomenon. The result is a vivid, detailed portrait of the 21st century family: its changes, evolutions and transformations in action.
