An American artist living a bohemian existence in Paris, Tom Warshaw (David Duchovny) is trying to make sense of his adult life by reflecting upon his extraordinary childhood. The year is 1973, and thirteen-year-old Greenwich Village native Tommy Warshaw (Anton Yelchin) is on the brink of becoming a man. Tommy lives the life of a typical teen, causing trouble at school and making afternoon deliveries with his best friend Pappas (Robin Williams). Following the unexpected romantic advice offered by Lady, (Erykah Badu) ­who is imprisoned in the infamous Greenwich Village Women¹s House of Detention - Tommy even experiences his first taste of love. Yet when an unforeseen tragedy radically alters his world, Tommy must make a life-defining choice - one that will compel the adult Tom Warshaw, thirty years later, to confront his unfinished past. Vividly capturing the spirit of youth in all its joy and heartbreak, HOUSE OF D examines with humor and pathos a boy's coming of age and the manner in which it defines his adulthood.
