In this playful and visceral film, a young couple with a shared insecurity finds creative ways to maintain control over one another.

A love triangle involving two relationships that only go one way. Mandy identifies herself as "the caretaker". She alone is empathetic, patient, and gentle. She has chosen to mother two men neither of whom are her sons. When one of them - Robert - appears to have attempted suicide the weight of her burden increases. Her husband - Bruce - is of little help. What follows is a disturbing story about dependency, manipulation, and the challenges of caring.You can try to solve Mandy's problem for her. As you watch simply avoid thinking of a pink elephant.
