Lily Borenstein-Burd and her brother Russell have never attended school. They are among the growing number of kids that are being taught at home.

Filmmaker Fernanda Rossi lived with and filmed the Borenstein-Burds for a period of over one year. Guided by Lily's natural curiosity and sense of humour, they compile a list of essential questions about homeschooling, and turn to Lily's parents for the answers.
