Synopsis
Pops is telling a story of Max coming to the jubilee of his old dad with his family. During this journey the unsolved family problems arise, which deal with the relations and upbringing process. Max recalls memories from his childhood, where he tries to find the way to solve his own family problems. But instead of answers he finds only child offenses and questions which he hasn’t yet asked. Max is going to clear this up.

Note from the artistic direction
Pops is a series full of hilarious treasures, but also magical and precious moments. We can truly relate to that “overwhelmed dad” life portrayed in that journey in which every man will be able to find parts of his own parenting experience.
