Lester Burnham, a depressed suburban father in a mid-life crisis, decides to turn his hectic life around after developing an infatuation with his daughter's attractive friend.
A stifling layer of suburban perfection masks a frantic, voyeuristic hunger pulsing beneath the manicured lawns. This unsettling look at midlife disillusionment finds beauty in the most unexpected, combustible moments of human longing.
