Comedy

A status-obsessed suburban housewife is determined to be seen as refined and well connected, even if it means bossing her patient husband and putting on constant “perfect hostess” performances. Her carefully managed image keeps colliding with everyday reality, from unimpressed neighbors to chaotic relatives who show up at the worst possible moments.
