When you?re all alone and your only sister?s about to get married, the whole world seems like it?s going to the dogs. Patrick is a reclusive and somewhat strange nerd who has always driven his younger sibling Marilyn a little crazy. When she shows up for a visit at his house in the woods with a small surprise in tow, namely her fiancé Ryan, Patrick freaks out and tries everything to undermine the relationship.

Whole New Thing is the delightfully unconventional story of one rather exceptional thirteen-year-old boy. Nothing is simple for Emerson is anymore. Unlike most boys his age, he is clever, well-adjusted and can hold his own in conversation with most adults.

Home schooled by his eco-hippie parents, he has been raised in a household of casual nudity and openness about sex. But when his poor math skills force him into the local school, the change for Emerson?as well as those around him?proves to be seismic.

Phillipe, who daydreams about traveling in space, is stuck in a dead-end job as a telemarketer. He keeps delaying the defense of his doctoral dissertation, in which he asserts that man?s desire to explore space stems from his own narcissicism. When Phillipe?s mother dies, he realizes that he is alone in the world, and seeks to reconcile with his younger brother, a successful TV weatherman. But for an alienated man who believes that people are only interested in themselves, it is easier to search the mysteries of the universe than to relate to others on this planet.
