Storyline
In the suburbs of Grosse Pointe, Michigan, a group of neighborhood boys—now grown men—reflect upon their memories of the five Lisbon sisters, ages 13 to 17, in the late 1970s. Unattainable due to their overprotective parents, math teacher Ronald Lisbon and his homemaker wife Sara, the girls—Therese, Mary, Bonnie, Lux, and Cecilia—are enigmas who fill the boys’ conversations and dreams.

“I was impressed with Lynch's Dune, but it was not what I had dreamed of. I'll go back to the book and to the images that came out when I read it.”
