"What should I do with my life now?" is the question that every member in the family at the center of this story is dealing with.
The father is fired from his high position in a corporation. He is reduced to lying about his life to his family, standing in lines for free food, and eventually ends up working as a janitor. The mother struggles to keep the family together only to become a fallen woman when she gets involved with a fallen man. The oldest son doesn't know what to do with his life, so he joins the US military and goes to war in the Middle East. The youngest son might be a genius piano player, but his father forbids him from playing the piano.
A few unrealistic twists are thrown in to keep things interesting, but overall the film deals with the real questions and problems that people face. If you are pondering what you've done with your life and what direction you want to take it, then this film is for you. It is a depressing film where everyone's life takes a turn for the worse, but the end of the film shows that there is a faint sliver of hope.
