The Marvel Invention



Set in current day suburban Charlotte, "The Marvel Invention" is a film about the pride of a daughter, the spontaneous fun turned impatient control of a stay-at-home-mom (who is also served tirelessly as set designer), and the ways that they welcome the patriarch as he returns from a long day at work outside the home.

Notes on translation:
Marvel = Marble
Adventure/Invention have apparently evolved to be interchangeable to mean anything that is new and fun or exciting.

Neither. A is into learning how things work, and we saw something on Curious George that she wanted to replicate. You can, however, feel sorry for me because EVERYBODY was knocking things down after them being set up and that my attempts to be the fun parent always backfire and I turn into a B. There is so much I could say about our family dynamics through this video!
