Movie description:
In 1970s American suburbia, Maggie and her younger siblings Christian, Janie and Sam spend the night telling each other stories in the attic. Downstairs, their parents put on airs and entertain guests over the course of a gin-soaked evening. The more they drink, the faster the artificial civility of the gathering deteriorates, and for the first time, the family is forced to confront the truth behind the betrayals and disappointments of their lives.
The Cantwells want to be a perfect family but none of them know how to do that in »The Playroom«, a coming-of-age drama about the fine line between childhood and becoming an adult.
Set in the suburbs during the 1970’s, the story unfolds like a dream wrapped around a family drama, one in which all members of the Cantwell family struggle to find their way in a rapidly changing world. Maggie is a vulnerable yet tempestuous teenager who acts as big sister and surrogate mother to her three younger siblings. Upstairs in the attic she tells them fantastical stories, but only to mask what is happening downstairs. As her hard-drinking parents, Martin and Donna, entertain guests, Maggie grapples with their flawed choices and is thrust into a world she might not be ready for.
Emotionally riveting and surprisingly funny, »The Playroom« is the story of how Maggie and her siblings survive the most fateful night of their lives.
