Mabel Longhetti, desperate and lonely, is married to a Los Angeles municipal construction worker, Nick. Increasingly unstable, especially in the company of others, she craves happiness, but her extremely volatile behavior convinces Nick that she poses a danger to their family and decides to commit her to an institution for six months. Alone with a trio of kids to raise on his own, he awaits her return, which holds more than a few surprises.
Can a marriage survive when one partner’s frantic search for connection begins to fracture their shared reality? This raw portrait of domestic instability captures the terrifying moment a woman's spirited personality turns into a perceived psychiatric crisis.
