The Misbegotten

Already a successful actor in Ney York in 1946, Raul is about to direct Eugene ONeills Moon for the Misbegotten. He starts by writing his own memoir, since ONeill wrote many of his plays that way. His wife, Margaret, thinks its a great idea shell learn all about his life in Mexico and California. But many of the memories Raul dredges up are impossible for him to write. There are too many secrets he doesnt want anyone, especially his wife, to know. At first, Raul is thrilled when ONeill gets involved in the plays production until he jeopardizes its success by taking over the casting, and then abruptly disappears. Meanwhile, Margaret, deeply invested in her marriage but not as passive as she seems, quietly pursues her own dreams.
