Families in Crisis is a life-changing docu-reality format that blends raw human drama with practical guidance and touches of entertainment. Each episode follows a different family that opens the doors to their home, their finances, and their emotions — all in the hope of building a better life.
From deep-rooted habits to emotional and financial turmoil, families undergo an intense and often uncomfortable transformation, guided by a personal coach who challenges them to confront their fears, overcome their weaknesses, and fight for a new beginning.
The family coach is Romanian actor Claudiu Maier, appearing under the alter ego Vladimir Sturz, delivering a performance that is equal parts tough love and transformative mentorship.
Families in Crisis is the Romanian adaptation of the original format “Overdraft Family”, created by Armoza Formats, and aired on TVR2 between 2007 and 2008.
