BREAKING AND ENTERING
By Martha Porter Fiszer

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE:

When two post-menopausal, lifelong friends try to reclaim the mischief of their youth by breaking into a neighborhood McMansion, they must ditch the police - and a few deep-seated beliefs - to find happiness on the other side of sixty.


SYNOPSIS:

Breaking and Entering, is a second-time-coming-of-age comedy about two post-menopausal besties who realize life-going-on-sixty isn’t what they expected.

When dutiful housewife, Janet, arrives home after caring for her dying mom in really rural Wisconsin, she discovers a world of unwelcome change. Her husband and kids are totally self-sufficient, and her beloved hometown is overrun by hipster shops and massive new homes. Not to mention her aging body, which now resembles a sack of cats. To cope, Janet takes up power walking with her lifelong pal, Irene, who’s totally bored with retirement. What starts as a playful dare to break into an empty McMansion, quickly becomes an epic summer of criminal mischief as the two try and outsmart husbands, cops and the vacationing homeowners (with a not-so-smart security system). Can Janet and Irene pull off the ultimate 60th birthday bash – in someone else’s home? More important, can they escape the beliefs that imprison them as adults – and find happiness on the other side of youth?
