Happiness (1998)
Drei Schwestern, wie Sie unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten: Die scheue Joy verliebt sich immer in den Falschen. Die erfolgreiche Autorin Helen könnte jeden Mann bekommen, den sie will, aber im Grunde will sie keinen. Schließlich Trish: Sie hat einen Mann, doch der hat absonderliche Vorlieben, von denen sie nichts ahnt. Und dann sind da noch die Eltern der Drei, die nach jahrzehntelanger Ehe an Scheidung denken. Nicht zu vergessen Helens sonderbare Nachbarn, der übergewichtige Allen mit eklatantem Hormonstau und Kristina, die Sex verabscheut, jedoch die Nähe von Allen sucht und ein makaberes Geheimnis im Kühlschrank hütet.
