In the eye of a hurricane both literal and metaphorical, the Westfall siblings find themselves drawn back to the crumbling orbit of their childhood home. As the storm rages through upstate New York, tearing apart the landscape and their family's antique store, the death of their patriarch forces them to confront not just their frayed bonds but the chaotic undercurrents of their individual lives. Armie lurks in the basement, a ghost in his own life; Josef battles his demons in the labyrinth of Manhattan, estranged from his daughters; and Charlie, navigating the treacherous waters of Hollywood PR, faces the upheaval of her son's expulsion from preschool. Bound by a father's dying wish to sell a priceless painting, the siblings embark on a tumultuous journey through grief, laughter, and the messy quest for redemption. Kris D’Agostino crafts a masterful narrative in "The Antiques," weaving the dark humor of familial dysfunction with poignant insights into the human condition. As the Westfalls stumble through the debris of their past, confronting their failures and secrets, they unearth the fragile hope that persists in the darkest of times. D'Agostino delivers a sharp, funny exploration of the complexities of family life, love, and the unexpected epiphanies that can emerge amidst chaos. With its richly flawed characters and irresistible plot, "The Antiques" is a compelling testament to the enduring power of family and the unpredictable journey toward healing, underscored by a keen sense of the absurdities and trials that define us.
