Lerner shares the personal events in his life that motivated him to develop this story along with his best friend, the feeling he had at the moment and how he went further to investigate his real family problems to keep shaping the film.

Later Justin discusses the subjects that interest him in filmmaking and the feelings he likes to provoke.
