Description Inspired by Henrik Ibsen's 1894 play Little Eyolf.
Since the accident that injured their child, Alfred and Rita's marriage has degenerated into a mess of recriminations, sexual frustration and misdirected fury. Then one day their son goes missing. What follows is this young couple's sometimes shocking, sometimes hilarious struggle to stay together despite the odds.
The Only Child is an unflinchingly honest, bittersweet look at the complicated terrain of a modern relationship.
