Drunkenly singing along to Nelly in the back of a car, Clare (Kathryn Hahn) is struggling to remember which house she lives in. She finds it but doesn’t have a key and so breaks in through a window, before being confronted by her husband wielding a baseball bat, thinking she’s a burglar.
It transpires that Clare, in fact, no longer lives in the house, having been banished from the family home for similar antics. She’s been reading an agony aunt column and, as she makes her way back to the retirement home she works at – where she has also been secretly sleeping – she composes her own letter to Dear Sugar, “wondering how the hell my life ended up here”.
