A Delicate Balance background

A Delicate Balance

A family's serene existence is disrupted when their adult daughter's parents, beset by an inexplicable fear, surprise them by moving in.

An upper-class Connecticut couple, Agnes and Tobias, navigate their strained relationship, still reeling from the loss of their son. They've developed a comfortable routine of tension. Agnes's sister Claire, who lives with them, insists her constant drinking is a choice, not a sign of addiction. Their daughter Julia, about to get divorced for the fourth time, returns home, only to find her room taken over by Harry and Edna, Tobias and Agnes' friends, who fled their own home due to an unnamed fear and decide to stay.
