520    Mary is a charming 74-year-old poet with a brilliant wit - and a very serious drinking problem. She loves going for walks on the road, begging for money, and getting drunk on “high wine.” Muscle strives to lift his family out of poverty and into the middle class, and he worries his mother will end up in hospital. He decides that the only way to protect her is to keep her locked her up in her room at the back of the house. A brutal, controlling son and a drunk, pathetic old woman? Neither - they are both incredibly courageous when we discover what they have survived to become who they are now. As their harrowing and loving story unfolds, we hear of a past dominated by Muscle’s father, an extremely violent man who Mary left after years of abuse and unspeakable horrors inflicted on her children. She tells us she knows that she is dying, and is not afraid - she even jokes about it. Although their world is unlike anything you have ever seen - Mary and Muscle’s efforts to live life on their own terms are comical, courageous, flawed, disturbing, loving and heart-breaking.
