The trophy child

Paula Daly

2017 · EN

An ambitious wife and mother who expects her family to achieve high goals no matter the cost is forced to confront her impossible standards as her husband and children rebel, exposing deep cracks in the family's foundation. In gossiping circles Karen Bloom is known as the tiger mother. She believes that tough discipline is the true art of parenting, and expects her husband and her children to perform at 200 percent. But her family start to rebel against her.... Husband Noel is a handsome doctor with a proclivity for alcohol and women. Daughter Bronte is excelling at school, music lessons, dance classes, and yet she longs to run away. Verity, Noel's daughter from his first marriage, is starting to display aggressive behavior. And Karen's son from a previous relationship falls deeper into drug use. As the deadly cracks appear, they are impossible to stop.
