The Morels' Arthur, Penny and Will are a happy family of three living in New York City - so why would Arthur take the decision to publish a book that brutally rips his tightly knit family unit apart at the seams? The Morels takes a unique look at the power of art, literature, music and film and challenges readers to consider serious questions that have no easy answers. What is the line between art and obscenity, between truth and fiction? Is it possible to possible to save the past and, most importantly of all, is it possible to save one's family by destroying it?
