A struggling young writer finds his life and work dominated by his unfaithful wife and his radical feminist mother, whose best-selling manifesto turns her into a cultural icon.
An odd, bittersweet blend of domestic absurdity and sudden tragedy defines this sprawling life story. You will find yourself oscillating between belly laughs at eccentric family dynamics and a profound ache for the characters' fragile stability.
