A darkly comedic, surreal family breakdown that uses absurdist humor and transgressive content to explore suburban dysfunction, identity, and the collapse of social norms.

The adventures of an upper-class suburban family abruptly confronted with the younger brother's discovery of his homosexuality, the elder sister's suicide attempt and sadomasochist tendencies, and the intrusion of a very free-spirited maid and her husband. And it all started with the arrival in the family of an innocent looking rat.
