Nina is meeting her fiancé’s family for the first time just before the wedding, full of expectation and hope for the future. And then she meets her mother-in-law. When she and the itinerant groom are given an antique Russian pistol as a wedding present things really begin to unravel, until there’s blood on the ballroom floor. Tracking the pistol’s crooked path down the groom’s family tree reveals a gypsy curse, cross-dressing, murder and revolution. It sure pays to do a background check before accepting a marriage proposal.Part modern, part historical black comedy, In Sickness and Self Defense visits New Zealand, a South Pacific island, and Russia to answer why this family is so hell bent on self-destruction; and on taking the world down with them.
