SYNOPSIS
A pair of brothers living in Brooklyn are caught in the middle of, and deeply affected by, the divorce of their erudite parents, Bernard (Jeff Daniels) and Joan Berkman (Laura Linney).

The household tension rises further when Joan's writing career takes off and surpasses the failed ambitions of her professor ex-husband.
