The film, which begins with the funeral of the protagonist of Welcome to the Dollhouse, tells us the story of Aviva, her younger cousin, who wishes to have a child. Wicked and at times unpleasant, Solondz sharpens his game to the limit, evoking contrasting feelings between guilty laughter and purifying rejection.
