Allen deploys images of roadmaps and staticky 1980s TV screens to tell the tale, which weaves together how he sold off his dad’s portable television for some LSD and how, years later, his wife would squeeze his knee to prevent him from telling the story at a dinner with his father, thus spoiling a pleasant family meal. Ultimately, the shaky, emotive intonations of Allen’s narration and the lyrical drift of his prose arrive at a somewhat unexpected destination – a touching reflection on love and partnership as a compass for navigating life.
