Tender is the story of the Dax family. Or the stories of the Dax family. When Ali and Bill meet it's 1974, she's a physiotherapist with a broken heart, he's a cycle courier who dreams of writing a Hollywood film. In the next story it's their first wedding anniversary, in the next Ali's pregnant, and so we go on, revisiting the family on key occasions over thirty years, watching relationships develop, children grow up, big moments occur, as life unfolds in its normal, and sometimes far from normal, way. The point of view shifts from story to story, so that we see things first through Ali's eyes, then Bill's, and later through the eyes of their children, Sean and Rosa. And then there's Ali's brother, Frank, popping up now and then with his own unique way of viewing the world. And what happens? At various times, Ali has murder on her mind, Bill fears his life is turning into sit-com, Rosa is bullied, Sean plots escape and Frank âe¦ no one really knows what's going on in Frank's head. Just an ordinary family, then, trying to cope with life, and each other. A family with a history that develops in front of your eyes. A family with stories to tell.
