Plot
Barbara and Oliver Rose had a fairy tale romance and a dream wedding, then settled down to live a perfect storybook life. Then the dream turns into a nightmare; Barbara wants a divorce, the house, and everything in it except Oliver. Why? 'Because when I watch you sleeping, when I see you eating, when I look at you now, I just want to smash you face in'. From then on, their showcase home - complete with two kids, dog and cat - becomes a battlefield, she smashes his collection of porcelain figures, he saws the heels off all her shoes, he disrupts her gourmet evening by pissing on the fish dish, she trashes his Morgan sports car. Things are about to get very, very nasty. A seriously black comedy!
