Whether a screwed-up supermodel, a closet lesbian, a mother-fixated transvestite, or simply a lonely soul, everyone needs a friendly ear. Or better yet, an expensive psychiatrist. Lorraine is the analyst who brings everything down to the mother. But to whom does the analyst talk? Lorraine delegates the problem of her mother’s Alzheimer’s between her cheque book and her sister Nina, who has seen her dream of a singing career and hopes of love slip by. This black comedy encompasses the contrasting worlds of the psychiatrist’s couch, a middle-class dinner party in a Fulham mansion block, and a dilapidated North London council flat, but everywhere the mother-daughter relationship is paramount. From drug-fuelled sex with a vicar to lustful longings for other women... are there some things a girl shouldn’t share with her mother?
