To her dismay, her Russian husband, a former super-model, has become an obese, slob of a man. He pays her little attention - preferring the company of men.
Infatuated with him, she engineers intimate moments for them to share. In her wishful imagination, she believes they are in a romantic relationship so when Joe rejects her unmistakeable sexual proposition, Mrs Baranovski is heartbroken.
Joseph, bought as a slave by the Egyptian Potiphar, is put in charge of this wealthy household. This spurned woman sets Joseph up - falsely accusing him of trying to rape her and has him imprisoned. In this contemporary version, her heinous crime has been changed.
Instead, Mrs Baranovski sets Joe up to have a serious accident to cause him physical pain and trauma. Trapped inside a full body cast, he is unable to escape and is metaphorically imprisoned until his injuries heal. This ancient story is retold by turning it into a quirky comedy with both tragic and dark moments. Unrequited love, rejection and heartbreak are universal themes to which we can all relate, together with misunderstandings that can happen between two people.
