Family Pictures

It's 1954. The Eberhardts appears to be a perfect middle-class Chicago couple. Lainey is an ebullient if slightly eccentric mother. David is a solid father, analytical and cool-tempered suited to his career as a psychiatrist. Theirs is a good marriage completed by two wonderful children. Then Randall arrives, diagnosed autistic, beautiful and enchanted, as if born "under a spell." Over the years, as the Eberhardt family expands even more, so does Lainey's maternal devotion -- and David's gradual need to disengage. At the heart of upheaval and the profoundly shifting dynamics between a husband and wife, and brothers and sisters, is Randall, the unmindful soul in their midst. Spanning decades, Family Pictures is an ambitious, piercingly honest portrait of the fearless courage it takes to be a parent, and the forgiveness, understanding, and healing it takes to be a family.
