In the seemingly placid suburbs of 1970s Ohio, the Clasky family navigates the quiet turbulence of adolescence and unspoken desires. Centered on two brothers on the cusp of manhood, the story unfolds as the younger, academically gifted William, played by Brett Davern, observes his family with a poignant curiosity, while his older brother Clive, portrayed by David Call, pursues a more rebellious and romantic path. Their parents, brought to life by William Hurt and Rita Wilson, maintain a fragile domestic peace, their own dreams and disappointments simmering beneath the surface. Directed by Chad Lowe, this bittersweet drama-comedy captures a specific moment in time where the pursuit of intellectual aspirations and the ache of first love collide with family expectations. As the brothers' journeys diverge, influenced by the women in their lives including a captivating performance by Julianna Margulies, the film paints a tender and often humorous portrait of a family learning that the road to understanding one another is as winding and unpredictable as the river that gives their state its name.
