The dreams and disappointments of this nuclear family - comprising a father retired from the Natural History Museum, a mother who works in the healthcare sector, and a daughter bound for the Silicon Valley in the future - vibrate through the family’s nervous system in distinct ways, yet weigh equally on them all. Among their aspirations are investing the retirement pension in a ‘lucrative’ business, delving into prehistoric fantasies, and ultimately, escaping it all. However, the impending disillusionment of the family’s three members will prove just as profound as the narrow, dead-end nature of the dreams they have built.
