First shown early in 1972, this series shows four situations in which people try to communicate.

Families can go for years without a serious talk of any kind. When crisis comes - death, divorce, bankruptcy - members may discover they have never really understood one another.
For the Browns (this is not their real name), the London family in this film, the mother's earlier divorce began a series of problems with her teenage son. The family tries to discover how these developed, helped by a family therapist - Dr Aaron Esterson.
