Quick Synopsis
Royal Tenenbaum and his wife Etheline had three gifted children, each a prodigy in their own field, but the family fell apart after the parents separated. Over the next twenty years, the children's early promise was overshadowed by personal struggles, disappointments, and conflicts, many of which were blamed on Royal. The story follows the Tenenbaum family as they come together unexpectedly one winter, confronting their past and the challenges that have kept them apart.
Detailed Synopsis of The Royal Tenenbaums
Royal Tenenbaum and his wife Etheline had three children and then they separated. All three children are extraordinary --- all geniuses. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure, and disaster. Most of this was generally considered to be their father's fault. "The Royal Tenenbaums" is the story of the family's sudden, unexpected reunion one recent winter.
