He's living in a camper. She's living in denial. Breakfast is awkward.
Like every morning, Linda sits at the breakfast table with her children. But there's a catch: Dad hasn't been sitting at the table with his family for a long time. Instead, Fritz is sleeping in the camper van in the garden. While Linda hopes that the two of them will soon find their way back to each other, all signs point to separation for Fritz.
Acting
Morreis and Kampwirth weaponize passive-aggressive silence.
Writing
The camper van as character — cramped, ridiculous, oddly free.
Director
Anna Justice
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
