Based on the true childhood experiences of Noah Baumbach and his brother, The Squid and the Whale tells the touching story of two young boys dealing with their parents' divorce in Brooklyn in the 1980s.

Set in an alternate reality in which everyone is a cliché from a tacky porn film, a group of increasingly self-aware stock characters are up against a mysterious killer offing them one by one.
