Part of Kino Fest 2025: Wyrd Girl
A frustrated housewife, Francine Fishpaw, tries to maintain her sanity while taking care of her dysfunctional household.
Elmer, her husband and the owner of an adult theatre, is sleeping with his secretary, and her delinquent teen son, Dexter, and pregnant teen daughter, Lulu, aren't helping matters any.
But when Francine meets dashing Todd Tomorrow, the owner of a theatre specialising in art films, her life appears rosier.
