A mid-century family drama centered on romantic entanglement and marital discord, where a wayward son's infidelity becomes the catalyst for examining fractured relationships and generational conflict.

Ralph and Annabell Willart are a feuding couple who are constantly bickering over their worthless, good-for-nothing son Berry-Berry. When Berry-Berry begins yet another meaningless love affair, this time with an older woman named Echo O’Brien, he really gets his parents at each others’ throats.
