Logline
An autobiographical, documentary-like profile of several generations of a family, keenly observed and enigmatically conveyed.
Twelve-year-old Jesse Damrosch is a witness to how his parents’ marriage is falling apart. Throughout his childhood, he has borne the weight of their failed parenting with seemingly calm stoicism. Yet, imperceptibly, he is seething inside as a panopticon of political and family incidents pass by him on their way to becoming memories.
