After dreamy fifteen-year-old Paul ruins dinner—and nearly does even worse damage—his hippie parents think that it is finally time for a sit down. Their eventual suggestion that Paul see a psychologist sends him into a tailspin of self-doubt. Only a miracle and some very quick thinking can restore his confidence.
