What Is the Story of Water by the Spoonful?
Young Iraq war veteran Elliot, who has returned home to Philadelphia, discovers that his beloved aunt (who served as his adoptive mother and the "rock" of their Puerto Rican family) has died. In a parallel plotline, Odesssa, known online as "Haiku Mom," is the moderator of an internet support group for a lively collection of recovering crack addicts. Elliot and Odessa's storylines eventually intersect in ways that are both moving and haunting, as both face their past failures and search for a happier future.
