==Synopsis==
When 21-year-old Leo Joseph-Connell suffers a major loss while he was on a cross-country bike trip, he seeks solace from his feisty 91-year-old grandmother Vera Joseph in her West Village apartment. Leo's and Vera's Marxism represents the state, Tyson represents the corporation, and the characters represent the individual. Leo proves to have anti-heroic attributes - a taste for peyote-intoxicated kissing and drunken promiscuity. All main, onscreen characters except for Vera are foulmouthed. Leo attempts to maintain his relationships with Marxism and the individual, which gradually proves futile. In the end, he is a marginalized, alienated loner in an advanced technological dystopia where daily life is impacted by rapid technological change and a ubiquitous data sphere of computerized information that carries a videophone call. Judging by Vera and Leo infuriating and bewildering each other, both have some anti-heroic/annoying attributes. Of his relationships, there is only Vera - and employment. Herzog used her grandmother's "words, habits and history to fashion the character of Vera Joseph".〔Soloski, Alexis. ("The Playwright and the Radical" ) ''The New York Times'', March 22, 2012〕
