Abstract
Family is a socially constructed phenomenon in terms of relations dependent on kinship, friendship, or closeness. This article aims to scrutinize an example of a transnational family in the Oscar winner movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)”. The descriptive-analytic research method with a qualitative approach was applied as the research methodology in this study. Network, family discourse, and time are found as the main contributors to the formation of a family. The network is the most powerful force multiplier for resolving conflicts in family, whether it be intrinsic or extrinsic. Additionally; heterarchical relationships are less prevalent than hierarchical ones, the primary factors in the development of family habits are cultural background and prior experiences, and the social construction of families can be prevented by the use of various languages and dialects. In the end, one of the fundamental principles underlying the social architecture of the family is time.
