House of America

When their father disappears to America, Sid, Gwenny and Boyo are left to care for their eccentric and mysterious mother. Now they must live by their own rules, for what other choice do do you have when reality lets you down? To escape the desperation of a two-bit Welsh town, Sid and Gwenny immerse themselves in a drug and alcohol enduced fantasy world where they become the incarnation of "beat generation" author and poet Jack Kerouac and his girlfriend Joyce Johnson. As their obessive and unstable mother sinks further and further into madness, her macabre secret slowly and destructively unfolds, leaving Boyo to discover the brutal truth. (Verleiher-Text)
