Description
Gary Burns, Canada's king of surreal comedy, joins journalist Jim Brown on an outing to the 'burbs. Venturing through a toybox of cultural references, from Jane Jacobs to The Sopranos, the two create a provocative reflection on why we live the way we do.
A Canadian family struggles with existential despair, exacerbated by the drabness of their suburban locale.
