Monk is 13 years old and a hypochondriac. No wonder: his family doesn`t make it easy for him. Chaos prevails at home because of the sister who is in late puberty testing out her boundaries, the depressive father who shuts himself in his room, as well as the mother who threatens to fall apart owing to the circumstances of her relationship. A death tears them out of their everyday life and forces all four together on a car journey to Spain. The chaos reaches a melting point. It is a tragiccomedy with a strong acting cast and punctuated by so many weird and sensitive moments about a family between neuroses, depression and hysteria. Anyone who likes LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE will more than love MONK
