It’s unclear if Bill has molested either of his two boys, but he appears to make a couple of attempts at grooming his older son, whose only current goal is to cum.Īllen is a depressed neighbor of Helen who has grandiose lustful thoughts about her, but crumbles in her presence, opting to instead masturbate while telephoning random strangers. Trish and Bill’s marriage is a sham and unbeknownst to her, he has a big thing for little boys. But on the other hand she’s envious of Helen’s independent success and active sex life. On the one hand she feels superior to Joy on the basis of having a family of three kids and an allegedly good life with her psychiatrist husband, Bill Maplewood. Trish is the oldest sister but is caught somewhere between the other two in her life. Helen is Joy’s older sister and a vain successful writer. She is prone to crying and is patronized by the rest of her family who regard her as a serial loser. Joy is the youngest sister in a dysfunctional family that pretends to be close but whose parents are finally separating after a 40-year marriage. The primary theme of Happiness is the absence of it in the miserable lives of its characters.
