In The Happy Housewife, the not exactly spotless birth of Harry jr. appears to be the start of a moving and touching story. Everyone around Lea is on cloud nine, except for Lea. To her, giving birth was all just a big set up, while she doesn’t realize that she is losing touch with reality. This results in a brave but most of all hilarious story of a woman who fights for herself to get her past and present back on track.
