SYNOPSIS
DANCE OF THE SEVEN HEADED MOUSE deals with the disintegration of a picture-perfect Fifth Avenue family in the aftermath of every family's nightmare: the death of a child. The politically active, socialite mother, Elly, hits the white wine and prescription drugs. Her husband, Kevin, retreats into his work as an internationally acclaimed architect. And their surviving daughter, 16-year-old Avril, has suddenly come home from her prestigious New England boarding school and won't tell her parents why.
The precarious family balance shifts with the arrival of an outsider, Avril's boarding-school roommate Juliana, a working-class scholarship student who is determined to lure Avril back to school. Acting as a catalyst and witness, Juliana exposes the gaping cracks in the family's facade and forces its three surviving members to engage with one another and the tragedy they share.
