The Squid and the Whale

Park Slope, Brooklyn, 1986. Walt Berkman, 16, is a very suggestible boy. His brother Frank, of twelve, drinks beer and speaks without modesty of his mother's sexual life. Suddenly, both have to face the outbreak of a family crisis: their parents, Bernard, a medium -sized teacher, and Joan, a promising writer who will publish a book, have decided to separate. Shared custody forces children to constantly move from one house to another to be with their parents.
