Grandmother Divided by Monkey Equals Outer Space
New York City, 1982. The Martians live in a one-bedroom apartment on the Upper West Side, where eleven year-old Carrie obsesses over details, and her brother attempts to make it to a showing of The Shining that isn’t sold out. Around the corner, the psychic Miss Rosa’s neon rose glows above the street. Befriending the Martians one by one, she shares a part of her story with each of them – a story that resonates disturbingly with their own lives.
