一个年轻人离开大学，与他不正常的家庭重新生活。慢慢地，与父亲有关的埋藏已久的秘密被揭开，父亲和哥哥之间的仇恨也暴露了出来。随着过去的揭开，新的悲剧终于将这个家庭拉到了一起The film is originally from Boswell's acclaimed first novel, Crooked Hearts. The family Boswell created in the book becomes one of the most memorable one in recent American literature - an eccentric clan that throws parties to celebrate its failures, that both nurtures and suffocates its members, whose interactions define the term "dysfunctional" but nevertheless have a haunting universal resonance. If you have also another story in Boswell's collection, the Dancing in the Movies, you may trace it back to Crooked Hearts. Hope you enjoy the movie, and read the novel if you'd like.
