130 Children (Spanish: 130 Hermanos, lit. '130 Brothers') is a 2022 Chilean-Costa Rican documentary film directed by Ainara Aparici (in her directorial debut)[1] and written by Aparici & Susana Quiroz. It depicts a large family, starting with 7 members and ending with 130, raising 30-40 heart children per generation while the parents grow older.[2]

Synopsis

In San José, Costa Rica, Melba (65) and Víctor (70) have a constantly expanding family, with six biological children and over 130 foster children in the past 40 years. Despite their advancing age, the couple continues to embrace the challenges of raising a large family. Some of their children are now embarking on their own paths towards adulthood, while a new child is gradually integrating into this bustling home. Despite the adventures and difficulties that come with such a large family, it continues to grow and thrive.[3]
