The story

In 1950s Dearborn, Michigan, 14-year-old Arthur Bartley lives in a dysfunctional household under the supervision of father Malcolm, a strict former Army major, and his mother, Jessie, both of whom largely ignore their son, instead focusing on the impending wedding of Arthur's older sister, Lillian. Arthur observes his 15-year-old schoolmate Janet, the daughter of an erudite professor, ask Ernie to forge her father's signature on an absentee excuse from school. After Ernie leaves, Janet flatters Arthur and the two kiss.
