Υπόθεση:
Follows a precocious, eleven-year-old Allan, who tries desperately to keep his dysfunctional, rural family together during the social upheavals of the early seventies. Allan reveres his father, Henry, the local milkman, and can’t understand why others don’t feel the same way. His family life is so twisted he thinks it’s perfectly normal to stay awake all night dealing with his father’s hysterics and suicidal threats. Allan’s older brother left town several years ago, and his mother gave up long before that, relying on sleeping pills to escape Henry’s tantrums. Allan then becomes obsessed with a rival family, whom he considers foolish white trash until they start taking away Henry’s customers. He is frustrated that his mother doesn’t take his father’s complaints seriously, and is perplexed by the increasingly rebellious and bizarre behavior of his sister, Sanne. Incapable of understanding what’s going on and heavily influenced by his father, Allan commits appalling acts, unaware of their import.
Seen through the mostly innocent eyes of 11-year-old Allan, we see the details (better than he does) of his fully dysfunctional family. His father is a very inadequate man who is never above threatening suicide to get some sympathy for his terrible life. His mother has long given up, his older brother has long moved out (the family only learns later on that he has married and has a child on the way), and Allan’s 14-year-old sister Sanne is fed up with having to perform sexually with her Dad at night to calm him down. His Aunt is sicker than she knows: she takes huge amount of pills for imaginary conditions which prove not to be imaginary ... and his grandmother is no prize either. Things come to a head when Sanne succeeds is getting herself institutionalized ... but even that refuge looks doomed until Allan steps in and lets the psychiatrist know what the girl has been going through.
