Quand les familles voisines Pritchett, Delgado et Dunphy acceptent qu'un documentaire soit tourné sur leurs vies, elles étaient loin d'imaginer qu'elles allaient tant en révéler... Jay Pritchett a rencontré la très sexy Colombienne Gloria Delgado le jour où sa femme l'a quitté. Leur différence d'âge est pour lui un challenge de tous les jours. Sa fille, Claire, a elle-même bien du mal à gérer sa vie de famille depuis que son mari, Phil, est persuadé d'être en phase avec ses enfants adolescents alors qu'il ne fait que les embarrasser ! Quant au frère de Claire, Mitchell, il vit avec son petit-ami Cameron et ils viennent d'adopter Lily, une petite Vietnamienne...
This mockumentary explores the many different types of a modern family through the stories of a gay couple, comprised of Mitchell and Cameron, and their daughter Lily, a straight couple, comprised of Phil and Claire, and their three kids, Haley, Alex, and Luke, and a multi-ethnic couple, which is comprised of Jay and Gloria, and her son Manny.
Phil and Claire take Haley and Dylan to dinner to reassure them they are not bad parents. While out to dinner, they run into Mitch and Cam who are chaperoning Lily’s first date, as well as Jay and Gloria after attending Joe’s school play.
In one last family trip, they head to Paris so Jay can accept a lifetime achievement award in the closet industry, but his old nemesis comes back to haunt him.

Mitchell learns a valuable life lesson when a former resident of the house shows up unexpectedly. The Dunphy's old neighbor-turned-tech-titan comes to visit with a big surprise for Phil. Manny's dad has a big opportunity for his son.
Phil pays a visit to his dad after hearing some concerning news about him; Jay gives Claire and Mitch a bunch of their old childhood memorabilia that triggers them to reevaluate a long-held story about their first family vacation.
