A darkly comic mockumentary that uses the artifice of documentary filmmaking to expose the narcissism, dysfunction, and psychological unraveling lurking beneath suburban normalcy.
A pushy, narcissistic filmmaker persuades a Phoenix family to let him and his crew film their everyday lives, in the manner of the ground-breaking PBS series "An American Family".
