Mabel Longhetti, desperate and lonely, is married to a Los Angeles municipal construction worker, Nick. Increasingly unstable, especially in the company of others, she craves happiness, but her extremely volatile behavior convinces Nick that she poses a danger to their family and decides to commit her to an institution for six months. Alone with a trio of kids to raise on his own, he awaits her return, which holds more than a few surprises.
Editor's Verdict
"While the movie had a 'Holiday Release,' the provided plot summary and genre information suggest a focus on intense domestic drama and mental health struggles that are completely independent of the Christmas season. There is no indication that Christmas is a meaningful setting, plot driver, or thematic element."
