Peter and Debbie's marriage is falling apart. She can't forgive him for his office affair with Margaret, his boss' secretary. Debbie's anger and jealousy pushes her into a similar affair with Frank, a man from Peter's office, while their daughter, Edie, fights through the often difficult period of sexual awakening and first love. The married couple's home is the omniscient character. The rooms are temples to a life ill spent; a decade's worth of consumer products. A sparse deconstruction of the American melodrama with a visceral yet beautiful finale, A Roof Over Our Heads is the fragmented story of man and his wife and their lovers.
