Fledglings is a screenplay about a Filipino family: the lawyer father who has high expectations for his eldest son to follow his footsteps, the mother, a soon-to-be first time business entrepreneur/restaurant owner who has always relied on her husband to discipline the children and finds herself alone with them for the first time and their three children who use different means, such as gadgets, gimiks and garb, to cope or escape the undesirable kind of relationship that they have with their parents, peers and each other. The screenplay shows how the characters evolve, hatch from their shells and undergo new experiences while struggling with personal issues in their own ways. It also emphasizes on the importance of having and maintaining an effective and solid relationship within the family.
