The Addams Family
The Addams Family

The Addams family does not live like everyone else: for them, to be happy is to feel pain, death and suffering. Nevertheless, this eccentric family still faces the same challenges as any family: children are growing up.

Their beloved dark daughter on Wednesday is now an eighteen-year-old ready for a life of her own. She falls in love with Lucas Beineke, a kind and intelligent boy from a respectable family in Ohio - the opposite of Addams values! To make matters worse, she invites the Beinekes to have dinner with them.
On one fateful and hilarious night, secrets are revealed and relationships put to the test. The Addams family face the horrible thing they've managed to avoid for generations: change.
