Annie and Baxter, the adult children of the controversial husband and wife conceptual performance art couple famous for their quirky macabre public performances, have never got over the fact that their parents kept using them during their childhood in their often gory and disturbing satirical public performances. They often clash with their now elderly parents over this and blame them for their problems in their adult life. However, the two become worried when they're told by the police that their parents have gone missing during their trip outside of town. The brother considers the possibility that something horrible might have happened to them, but the sister is convinced that it's just another one of their stupid games or twisted conceptual performances. She convinces him that they should go and look for them themselves. 家庭是永远的议题。真正的艺术是什么？。 影片改编自凯文·威尔森的同名畅销小说，讲述一双儿女从小被行为艺术家父母拖去表演，长大成人后回到家乡，帮助父母完成最后一场演出的故事。贝特曼因导演处女作[脏话]在今年多伦多电影节卖出600万美元高价而倍受关注，本片是他第二部导演作品。
