Skip it. A documentary about teenagers mixing up lunar and gregorian calendars for a birthday surprise sounds like a thin concept stretched into feature length—more homework assignment than compelling cinema. Unless you're specifically hunting for ultra-niche family content, your time is better spent elsewhere.

A teenager and his sisters who wanted to surprise his mom on her birthday but got the wrong idea of her birth date: is it on the Lunar or the Gregorian calendar?
