When Eric, a control-freak filmmaker, succumbs to his restless partner Allie�s campaign to get a dog, he insists upon adopting a rescue. What comes their way is Milly, a traumatized whippet arriving via air-plane with an unknown past from the Dominican Republic. Eager to master the dog-training process, Eric enforces an ideology that emphasizes inner strength and his role as leader of the pack.
But the renewed sense of meaning that this paternal role brings Eric is thrown into chaos when he is seized by inspiration that spills recklessly across his art and his life, taking Allie and Milly along with him.Meanwhile, Allie�s nostalgia for memories lost to childhood sets loose the wrath of long-suppressed intuitions, and the creeping dawn of a deeper calling in her life. Surprising, raw, and devotedly funny, The Heirloom draws from actors Ben Petrie and Grace Glowicki�s real-life relationship to produce a hilarious chamber piece about a couple teetering between calamity and commitment.https://www.youtube.com/watch-v=jsZH4lVgRN4
