Who Is This For
Struggling with abandonment, alcohol, anxiety, and other challenges? Step into the Colangelo household, where the year might be 2019 elsewhere, but it's stuck in 1985 according to 38-year-old Vic Colangelo.
For 17 years, Vic has shouldered the responsibility of his younger siblings Victoria and Danny. As the two now seek independence, tensions flare over Dannyโs career path driving a wedge between Vic and Victoria. Vicโs well-intentioned, but suffocating control clashes with Victoriaโs fierce free spirit. Danny, the youngest finds himself caught in the middle. Ready for a life change, he yearns to follow his passion for art, but is trapped in the roll of a future accountant.
As conflict escalates, Danny attempts to play peacemaker, navigating the mind field of familial discord. Buried truths inevitably rise to the surface, forcing the family to confront their issues and embrace change.
