Buy ticketsA father's perfect life is shattered when his daughter begins committing political acts of violence in Ewan McGregor's heart-wrenching directorial debut, based on Philip Roth's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.
Seymour Levov lives what appears to be an ideal life. Nicknamed "Swede" for his blue eyes and Nordic features, he has become a near-mythic hero in New Jersey due to his athletic achievements in high school and his marriage to the town's beauty queen. But as the Vietnam War approaches its peak and political disturbances start to infiltrate the family's idyllic existence, Swede's rebellious daughter joins a radical resistance group, causing the family's perfect bubble to burst. Ewan McGregor directs himself in this poignant father and daughter story, revealing a darker side of the American dream.
