After a year of living the free hippie
life, Denise (Fields) returns to her suburban family – wealthy, uptight,
hypocritical parents (Parker and Cooper) and rebellious druggie sister
(Bradbury). Her parents profess to be delighted and relieved to have her home,
but their disapproval is soon obvious, and their verbal abuse of their
daughters brings back memories of how they’ve always been.
It’s never clear why she came back to the painful hollowness of suburban American life and shallow uncaring parents but’s a strong portrayal of that aspect of the 70s.
