As said in Arje's Shaw dramatic comedy Moolah, people are in constant change: from day to day and minute-to-minute, we gradually inch our way towards who and what we want to be.

Being the person you wish to be is thwarted by trying to survive your family's attempt to kill you... if you only knew when they were coming.
