Beyond the portrait of Sean's family, from his grandparents to his son, this film does such a great job of showing the evolution of generational values--from the Old Left to the New Left to the current generation. It not only shows these transitions from a cultural standpoint, it adds a very important socio-material layer to our understanding of this transformation.
Also, I'm normally tired of the documentary trend of including the author/director in the narrative in order to reflect some sort of participatory ethos, but Arlyck's presence really adds depth to the changes mentioned above. Great documentary.
