Duration: 90'
Marty Pascal takes his fiancée, Lesly, to his parents' house in Washington for the first time. He hasn't told her much about his mother, his twin sister JackieO, or his younger brother, Anthony. Lesly is a young woman with her feet on the ground who grew up in Pennsylvania and has little in common with this uppermiddleclass family. She is to find out more than she ever had wanted to know about the very disturbed Marty. The bad weather forces all of them to stay inside the house and makes them jettison their plans for a formal dinner with the regulation turkey. There is nothing left to do except to drown their boredom in a sea of rum and Pepsi and reminisce about the good old days by candle light. After Lesly goes through all this series of appearances of weird ghosts of the past and embarrassing confessions, she realizes that her naive expectations of a life of peace and quiet in a reassuring and warm family atmosphere have been wiped away.
