Family is important. Everyone knows that. But to what extent can characters go to emphasize that? Maybe a song? Fight alongside them? No, some characters go beyond that - they want to support their parents financially for raising them in love and care (or not, depending on the story), and will do anything for that. The job that they work on may even be disgusting, but they will work nonetheless. Supporting a family is that important. Usually it leads to: Good circumstances: When there are Good Parents, who do not have any problems with money, a child wants to support them anyway as a gratitude for all the love they received in their life. Bad circumstances: When parents, while being good, are Cutting Corners, a child wants to help their parents get out of poverty and live a life worthy of their good deeds. Dysfunctional Family: When parents are bad to the point where many would want to ignore them, they can either force a character to work for them, or child would support them despite all the hardships he would get as a result, because they are still his family. An Immigrant's Tale stories may involve the immigrant in question sending some or all of their hard-earned money to their parents back home, as many immigrants have done in real life. May cross with Former Child Star if the child actor's parents are financially supported by their child's fame. Compare Jobless Parent Drama, a frequently used plot involving this motivation. See also Honor Thy Parent. |

The Goonies: The Goonies decide to try to find One-Eyed Willie's treasure, despite the dangers, in order to save their parents' homes from foreclosing to make way for a golf course. Mikey even mentions how the foreclosure is killing their parents, adding to their motivation. Downplayed, since not moving would also have the benefit of keeping The Goonies from moving away from each other. On both fronts, they succeed. Discussed near the end of the film, when Mikey apologizes to his dad for saving their own lives over getting the treasure. His father assures him he'd rather have Brand and Mikey safe than be rich. |

Elemental (2023): Protagonist Ember spends her whole life training to take over her father Bernie's shop, even though she's bad with the customers and has a (literally) explosive temper. Ember wants to financially and emotionally support Bernie and her mother Cinder in their old age, specifically so Bernie can retire without worry, and so puts her own future on hold (to the point where she doesn't even consider other life paths) in the name of being a dutiful daughter. By the film's end, Ember learns that the only thing Bernie and Cinder truly want is for her to be happy—"The shop was never the dream. You were the dream." Bernie instead gives the shop to two younger friends of his and gets his peaceful retirement, while Ember finally begins to explore her own identity by taking up an architectural internship. | |

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: Midge's childhood home was owned by Columbia University since her father worked as a professor there. When he decides to leave Columbia in Season 3, her parents lose the apartment and have to move in with their annoying former in-laws, the Maisels. When Midge earns enough money to buy back the apartment from Columbia, she asks her parents to move in so they can be back near their friends and grandkids and stop fighting with the Maisels. Instead of being grateful, they insist that they tell their friends that they bought the apartment back and invited Midge to live with them since they are embarrassed by the thought of their daughter supporting them as a single woman in the early 1960s. In Season 5, a Flash Forward in Season 5 to the 1970s reveals that the now world-famous Midge is secretly backing her mother's failing matchmaking business because it makes her mother so happy and she only has so many years left. This forces Midge to do more on-the-road gigs, keeping her away from her growing children. |
