"Vida familiar" és un recull de setze històries que giren entorn de relacions de família. Ens fan viatjar per vides inestables i imperfectes que han de superar dificultats per tirar endavant: des d’una separació, la mort d’un veí, un canvi de domicili... a una criatura que no entén els adults o una noia que no sap cap a on tirar. Tots ells són relats que expliquen situacions quotidianes i rutinàries molt pròximes i amb una gran dosi de realitat. Tot i que semblin històries sense cap relació, constitueixen un retrat de les relacions humanes.
