Plot

In the heart of Manhattan, 1995, LANDLINE paints a vivid tableau of the Jacobs family - three indomitable women caught in a whirlwind of love, lies, and life's indulgences. Amid the sizzling aroma of Japanese food, the intoxicating allure of drugs, and the often-messy exploration of monogamy, they navigate a New York that's on the brink of a technological revolution. The city is poised on the cusp of a cellular age, yet people still bask in the smoky indoors, untouched by the ubiquitous cell phones of the future. In this simmering cauldron of familial dynamics, young Ali stumbles upon her father's infidelity, a secret that threatens to shatter their world. Her elder sister Dana, in a journey of self-discovery, uncovers a wild side she never knew existed. Amid these shifting sands, their mother Pat confronts a harsh reality - the impossibility of having it all. Yet, they still have each other in this rollercoaster ride of life. LANDLINE is a poignant comedy that dives headfirst into the murky waters of human relationships. It's a story that resonates with a generation raised on the ideals of divorce and the comfort of wall-to-wall carpeting, exploring the transformative power of familial bonds. It's a tale of sisters evolving into friends, of parents rediscovering their humanity, and of a family finding its way through the labyrinth of life's trials and tribulations.
