What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)

Comedy drama

Gilbert Grape is encumbered by more burdens than any young man ought to have. He lives in isolated Endora, a dying small town. Gilbert's 500 pound mother hasn't left the house since his father hanged himself in the basement, his sisters quarrel relentlessly, and his mentally challenged brother Arnie requires constant supervision.
