A street of five homes opens one door at a time to show different families: a big family of five, a small family of two, a child who lives with a grandparent, and a child who lives in two homes. Each family hops in turn to show it is different, then a heart appears in every home because families love and care for each other, and the video ends on "Families come in many different kinds."
