I’m not living with you. We occupy the same cage.
The Pollitt family gathers to celebrate a birthday, but behind the smiles is a family in crisis.
With Brick and Maggie’s marriage plagued by secrets and deceit, the question of legacy lingers. As the family confront the impending death of their patriarch, a war of truth and lies is waged.
