HOUSE OF D
SYNOPSIS
A comical and touching portrait of a boy’s coming of age
in 1970s Greenwich Village, Lions Gate Films’ HOUSE OF D
is the feature film writing and directing debut of actor
David Duchovny, and stars Anton Yelchin, Téa Leoni, David
Duchovny, Robin Williams, Erykah Badu and Frank
Langella.
The year is 1973, and thirteen-year-old Tommy Warshaw
(Anton Yelchin) is on the brink of becoming a man. While
his bereaved single mother (Téa Leoni) continues to
mourn the death of his father, Tommy escapes his own
grief by causing trouble at school and making afternoon
meat deliveries with his best friend Pappas (Robin
Williams), a slow-witted janitor. Hoping to win the heart of
Melissa (Zelda Williams), a precocious uptown girl,
Tommy seeks advice and guidance from Lady (Erykah
Badu), a prostitute incarcerated in the infamous
Greenwich Village Women’s House of Detention. But just
as Tommy enjoys his first taste of love, he is faced with
an unexpected tragedy that will radically alter the course
of his life – and compel the adult Tom Warshaw (David
Duchovny), thirty years later, to revisit his unfinished
past…
