"Molly's Theory of Relativity" is a sexy, funny, surreal, and devastating portrait of a beautiful twenty-eight-year-old astronomer poised to make perhaps the first critical decision of her life, one that will determine her future forever. Her story takes place over an eighteen hour period, on Halloween 2012. Aiding her on her day of reckoning are her husband, her father-in-law, three deceased relatives, a precocious nine-year-old trick-or-treater, and her grandfather from Minot, North Dakota, and a six year old neighbor, who may or may not be imaginary. "Molly's Theory of Relativity" is about the economy, how we value and measure the pride we take in what we choose to do for a living, the unbreakable bonds of family, and the notion that death is simply a relative thing.
