DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Hirokazu Koreeda Japan

His films like 'Shoplifters' and 'Broker' tenderly explore how families are formed through love rather than blood, centering on reconciliation and belonging.

 Céline Sciamma France

Her films such as 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire' and 'Girlhood' delicately examine emotional bonds, identity, and the redemptive power of understanding between people.
