A young woman’s attempt to bond with both her 8-year-old son and her new boyfriend on a beach vacation becomes a strained exercise in adulthood and class dynamics. Instead of bringing them closer, their beach holiday brings out things in each of them that threaten to pull this emerging family apart. Filled with moments of humor and irony as well as isolation and nostalgia, it plunges us into the difficulties of the young, post-modern family where staying relevant, staying high, and remaining independent are all too important.
