Juosta pasakoja Meisono istoriją – nuo penkerių iki 18 metų. Pradėtas filmuoti 2002-aisiais, filmas seka tų pačių veikėjų gyvenimus ištisus vienuolika metų. Pagrindinio vaidmens atlikėjas aktorius Ellar‘as Coltrane‘as tiesiogine prasme užaugo priešais kino kamerą. Kai filmas buvo pradėtas kurti, jam buvo septyneri, dabar – devyniolika. Atitinkamai auga bei sensta ir visi kiti filmo aktoriai. Unikalus kino projektas leidžia visiškai kitu žvilgsniu pamatyti kiekvienam įprastą ir, atrodytų, paprastą (ar net nuobodų) šeimos gyvenimą.
