Life of Pi

Pi's families are atypical for the modern world, though perhaps not for India.

He has a father, mother, and brother comprising with him an intact nuclear family until they are lost in the sinking that begins his terrible and remarkable adventure.

And then, years later, he has a wife and daughter in a happy family of his own.

Perhaps television is more honest about our living arrangements, these days.

Divorce overcomes marriage and never-married single moms are far more common than newlyweds.
