Description

Soon to be a major film starring Nicole Kidman and Jason Bateman

'Funny, smart, ingenious, moving, altogether great' Nick Hornby

World famous Caleb and Camille Fang have dedicated their lives to great performance art. But for their children, Annie and Buster, their 'art' is an embarrassment.

As soon as the children grow up they flee home, desperate to escape the chaos of their parents' world. But when the lives they've built come crashing down, brother and sister have no choice but to go back. And whether the kids agree to participate or not, Caleb and Camille are planning one last performance that will finally determine what's more important: their family or their art.

Reviews

Fiendishly funny
A comedy, a tragedy, and a tour-de-force. I have never seen anything like it before. Genius
