Watching a video of the Kay family for the first time feels like a trip back in time to the 80s. In the opening, the four family members Ursula, David, DeeDee, and Freddy already appear in a home video aesthetic that you might remember from „ALF“ or „Full House.“ The grainy flickering is accompanied by 8-bit keyboard sounds reminiscent of early Atari and Nintendo video games. It would hardly occur to anyone that the short films were made in China’s biggest high-tech metropolis of all places.
