I Want My Own Brain

When you’ve cracked up like Aunt Helen, what you need is a weekend with an irrepressible child like Stephanie Falls. She’ll remind you of what it means to be truly alive. Stephanie makes a monkey of everyone, including her doting grandparents, but her joy for life unburdens the troubled mind of her aunt. A heart-warming, original tribute to the importance of finding the child inside us all.Stephanie Falls, age eight, spends a weekend with her grandparents along with her Aunt Helen, who is recovering from her nervous breakdown after dropping out of economics graduate school. Trapped in a mansion full of creepy artifacts and unappreciated art with her depressed aunt, Stephanie plays with the world. An excursion to march in a Mountain Man parade ends badly for Grandpa Drummond when Stephanie torments an organizer. Her antics inspire Helen to begin life anew with zeal and confidence.
