Palindromes is a fable of innocence: 13-year-old Aviva Victor wants, more than anything else in the world, to be a mother. She does all she can to make this happen, and comes very close to succeeding, but in the end her plan is thwarted by the authority of her parents.

Continuing his bleak, unflinching foray into the darker reaches of American suburbia, director Todd Solondz ( Welcome to the Doll House , Happiness ) has created a daring, chilling film in two parts - "Fiction" and "Non-Fiction" - starring Selma Blair ( Legally Blonde ), Paul Giamatti ( Saving Private Ryan ), Julie Hagerty ( Flying High ), Franka Potente ( Run, Lola, Run ), and John Goodman ( O Brother, Where Art Thou? ) These two acidic, tragi-comic explorations of sex, fame, exploitation and alienation form a powerful whole, where everyday life...
Dawn is an eleven year old nerd who is often humiliated at school and at home. She is tired of this and decides to do something about it.

Set in New Jersey, Happiness interweaves the stories of three sisters. The hippiefied lost soul Joy Jordan, the self loathing best-selling author Helen, and Trish, a chirpy passive-aggressive housewife, who has no idea her psychiatrist husband secretly lusts after their young son’s friends and dreams of mass murder. Happiness, like Very Bad Things, is guaranteed to make you smirk and guaranteed to make you squirm. Warning! Subject Matter May Offend.
