THE WHALE
Charlie hasn’t seen his ex-wife or daughter in seventeen years—and in that seventeen years he has gained somewhere around 400 pounds. Now morbidly obese and confined to his small apartment, he must make a desperate attempt to connect with his disaffected teen-aged daughter by doing the thing he does best—by teaching her to write a good essay.
