The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds
Middle-aged widow Beatrice Hunsdorfer and her daughters Ruth and Matilda are struggling to survive in a society they barely understand.

Epileptic Ruth is a rebellious adolescent, while shy but highly intelligent and idealistic Matilda seeks solace in her pets and school projects, including one designed to show how small amounts of radium affect marigolds.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film
best movie i've ever seen.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
