Lymelife
“The American Dream Sucks”
ComedyDrama
A coming of age dramedy where infidelity, real estate, and Lyme disease have two families falling apart on Long Island in the early eighties. Scott, 15, is at the point in his life when he finds out that the most important people around him, his father, his mother, and his brother, are not exactly who he thought they were. They are flawed and they are human.
VIBE
This film feels like a hazy, sun-drenched memory of suburban adolescence. It captures the awkwardness of growing up, the quiet desperation of adults, and the bittersweet ache of realizing the world isn't as simple as you thought.
