Lymelife

From executive producer Martin Scorsese and producer Alec Baldwin comes LYMELIFE, a funny, biting and loving tribute to the suburban family.

In the late 1970s, 15-year old Scott Bartlett’s family life is turned upside-down after an outbreak of Lyme disease hits the community, spreading illness and paranoia. Scott’s parents – a workaholic father, Mickey and an overprotective mother, Brenda – are on the verge of a divorce as his older brother Jim is about to ship off for war. Complicating matters, Scott has fallen in love with his next door neighbor, Adrianna Bragg. Adrianna seems to be the only person in the world who understands Scott: her uptight mother, Melissa, is pursuing a not-so-clandestine love affair, and her father, Charlie, is slowly slipping away from the effects of Lyme disease.

Both profoundly funny and deeply moving, LYMELIFE looks at first love and family dynamics during a time of drastic economic and cultural change.
