La Gata sobre el Tejado Caliente

On a hot summer night, the birthday and technically good health of PapaGrande is being celebrated. In this broken family, Maggie, Brick’s wife (PapaGrande’s favourite son) fights with Gooper (Brick’s older brother) and his wife Mae for PapaGrandes inheritance, who is unaware that he has terminal cancer. Brick, tormented with his best friend Skipper’s suicide, is now an alcoholic, rejects Maggie, the inheritance and everyone else. PapaGrande, feeling healthy confronts MamaGrande about replacing him and Brick about his drinking problems. Finally Brick tells his father the truth about his illness and Maggie makes everyone think she’s pregnant, giving him a reason to leave everything to his favourite son.
