Sinopse
Shawney calls himself a filmmaker, but he's actually been a strip club manager for longer. When he was six years old his father bought “The Manor”, a small town strip club. Thirty years after the purchase, the family's lifestyle has got the better of them. His 400-pound father is about to undergo stomach reduction surgery, his 85-pound mother refuses to acknowledge her complicated relationship with food and his younger brother needs help running their unconventional family business. Shawney's role as struggling filmmaker and outcast son provides an astonishingly intimate and rarely seen perspective on a family facing the consequences of their livelihood, dependence and love. Told with humor and frankness, The Manor is an intimate portrait of four people struggling to call themselves a family
