Synopsis
A Place for Pierrot
Pierrot, 50, is autistic and lives in a care home. His sister Camille, 45, discovers that he is being overmedicated, causing him to regress. Outraged, she decides to take him into her home while she searches for a place that is better suited to his needs. A long quest begins.
The French Italian
Doug and Valerie have made a mistake.

Their friends are horrified, and regret is setting in. They start plotting their revenge— and before they know it, they’re staging an off-Broadway play…
