CLOSING NIGHT FILM: SAVAGES
PRESENTED
BY MOUNT GAY® RUM
The last thing the
two Savage siblings ever wanted to
do was look back at their difficult
family history. Having wriggled their
way out from beneath their father's
domineering thumb, they are now firmly
cocooned in their own complicated lives.
Wendy is a struggling East Village
playwright, AKA a temp who spends her
days applying for grants, stealing
office supplies and dating her very
married neighbor. Jon is a neurotic
college professor writing books on
obscure subjects in Buffalo. Then comes
the call that informs them that the
father they have long feared and avoided,
Lenny Savage, is slowly being consumed
by dementia and they are the only ones
that can help. Now, as they put their
already arrested lives on hold, Wendy
and Jon are forced to live together
under one roof for the first time since
childhood, rediscovering the eccentricities
that drove each other crazy. Faced
with complete upheaval and battling
over how to handle their father's final
days, they are confronted with what
adulthood, family and, most surprisingly,
each other are really about.
