YES DAY

Allison and Carlos Torres have built a household around rules, and their three children have grown used to hearing no. When the parents decide to hand a single day over to their kids, agreeing to almost anything they ask, a few basic conditions still apply. What follows is a whirlwind of outings and requests that the family has to navigate together.
