Two real-life families with completely different backgrounds, interests and occupations, swap lives for seven days.
Each family knows nothing about the other until they arrive, then they find out where they’ll be living and what they’ll be doing. The adults will have to go to work in the other family’s professions and the children attend each other’s schools.
Along the way they will have to undergo a number of exciting and nerve-racking challenges: school presentations, parents’ association meetings, family encounters and never-before tried hobbies. Each family works together to face these hurdles head on!
At the end of the week the two families meet for the first time to discuss their experience and to share the opinions they have formed on each other’s lives.
