NIGHT ONE // FEATURE FILM

Directed by: Derick Martini

Starring: Alec Baldwin, Kieran Culkin, Rory Culkin, Jill Hennessy, Timothy Hutton, Cynthia Nixon, and Emma Roberts

The dark side of suburban paradise and loss of innocence converge in the story of two deeply troubled, dysfunctional families during the late 1970s. 15-year-old Scott’s (Rory Culkin) family life is turned upside-down after an outbreak of Lyme disease grips his Long Island community with both illness and paranoia. Scott’s parents, a workaholic father (Baldwin) and an overprotective mother (Hennessy), are on the verge of a divorce as his older brother Jim (Kieran Culkin) is about to ship off for war.

Complicating matters, Scott has fallen in love with his next door neighbor, Adrianna (Roberts), who has her own equally troubled but less affluent family including an uptight mother (Nixon) carrying on a not-so-clandestine love affair, and a father (Hutton) slowly slipping away from the effects of Lyme disease. Both profoundly funny and deeply moving, Lymelife looks at first love and family dynamics during a time of drastic economic and cultural change.

"Startling performances, searing dialogue and an archaeologist's sense of late '70s period detail power the violently funny Lymelife." - Rob Nelson, Variety
