Video artist Shannon Plumb directs herself, her husband, and her two towheaded boys in a whip smart exploration of one woman’s search to define herself outside of marriage and motherhood. Replete with skillfully executed prat falls and visual gags recollecting an age of silent comedy, Plumb creates a world where the ridiculous blends seamlessly with the sincere as Penelope stumbles her way through a not quite midlife crisis.
