Story
The shy son of an aging comedienne tries to find a balance between his demanding home life, his new girlfriend, and his mother's second chance at fame.
Summary
"Tim, a reserved yet reliable young man in his early twenties, struggles to balance the demands of his fame-chasing comedienne mother Jean, his burgeoning romance with Jill, and the constant needs of his younger brother Mark. Jean's relentless pursuit of a career revival in Sydney's comedy circuit, fueled by regrets about her past, strains their close-knit family dynamic. As Tim navigates the complexities of new love, his mother's intrusion, and his brother's disability, he grapples with whether their familial dynamics are destined to remain tumultuous or if change is indeed possible."
