At 69, Professor Chandra is still chasing the illusive dream of the Nobel. He has that and not much else now that his wife left him for Steve, and this three kids have turned out to be so strange to him. His youngest is finishing high school and not heading in a good direction. His middle child has not been in contact for two years after one last blow up. His oldest is focused on making more money than his father running some sort of meditative business school. Why can't any of them love economics and follow in his footsteps? When an accident and silent heart attack make him take stock of his situation, he decides to cut back and take it easy for awhile like his doctor advises. He heads to California for a visiting professorship and tries to patch things up with his ex-wife and kids. Along the way, he experiences some growth and self-discovery. Maybe he ISN'T right about everything? I enjoyed this humorous look at a guy who has it all or maybe has nothing at all. How can you tell?
