The Perfect Mother (1997)
Sinds de dood van selfmade immigrant Nico Podaras runt weduwe Elenie zijn lucratieve garage, met een illegale bijzaak, en gebruikt ze de winst gul om de controle over het leven van hun drie zonen te behouden. De simpele Dan is blij dat hij zonder aarzelen de cruciale erfgenaam verwekt om de onhandelbare, onvolwassen vrouw Charlene in het gareel te houden, maar gaat te ver, dus ze vlucht zwanger. Eerstgeborene John gaf zijn droom, de visserij, op om in de garage te werken. Wanneer hij met Kathryn trouwt, begint ze Elenie's matriarchale manipulatie in twijfel te trekken en te weerstaan, maar ze baart haar wel een kleinzoon. Het conflict escaleert, waardoor John verscheurd raakt tussen loyaliteiten.
