Diary of a Mad Housewife
“I, Tina Balser, Housewife, Did Not Do My Chores Today. I Did...Something Else!”
ComedyDrama
Tina Balser is a bored New York housewife-mother married to Jonathan, a pompous, social-climbing lawyer who ridicules her in front of their children, criticizing everything she does or wears. She begins an affair with George Prager, a dashing, successful, and blatantly sadistic writer.
VIBE
A raw, unflinching look at a woman's desperate search for validation outside a suffocating marriage. It's uncomfortable, sharp, and steeped in the disillusionment of the era.
