Quick Synopsis
After their father dies, four adult siblings come back to their childhood home for a week, as their mother asks them to stay together during this time. Along with their outspoken mother, the group includes current partners, ex-partners, and people from their past. Over the course of the week, the siblings revisit their shared memories and confront the complicated relationships they have with each other and those close to them. Through a mix of humor and emotional moments, they begin to reconnect and understand one another better.
Detailed Synopsis of This Is Where I Leave You
When their father passes away, four grown, world-weary siblings return to their childhood home and are requested -- with an admonition -- to stay there together for a week, along with their free-speaking mother and a collection of spouses, exes and might-have-beens. As the brothers and sisters re-examine their shared history and the status of each tattered relationship among those who know and love them best, they reconnect in hysterically funny and emotionally significant ways.
