This story is a vivid porthole into the lives of the dysfunctional Schaffer family: Pappy, his two grown daughters and a son-in-law live together in the house in which the girls grew up. The film vividly explores the family’s desperate efforts to fight change from all angles. Through the struggle over the declining family car service business, the youngest daughter’s manic-depressive episodes, Pappy’s failing health and his sudden embrace of Judaism, they wearily attempt to hold on to one another and find meaning in the world around them. Jen Albano gives a break-through performance as Susanah, the eldest daughter struggling to keep it all together.
