Plot

Two families who live and work on the east side of the Carroll Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn are interrupted by the arrival of Naomi, a 25-year-old Australian summer intern with connections to both families.

An underlying theme of the film is captured when Naomi and Sam, who unknowingly has her own connection to both families, talk about “the competitive nonsense ... and unwilling resentment ... for family. Love, jealousy and deficiency, all wrapped up in a genetic bond... Family doesn’t afford that endless optimism for a happy ending.”
