"Shed clothing. Shed government. Shed God." So goes the creed of Harold Gomberg, a bombastic, libertarian atheist and nudist with a four-foot bong. Behold a man who's more comfortable exposing his aging frame than his feelings. Gloria Gomberg disapproves of her father's pathological mission of liberation. But should a wine-chugging nervous tic of a human really be judging anyone? And might Gloria's judgment be rendered even more invalid if she's about to marry a weapons manufacturer obsessed with jam bands? Along comes a long Memorial Day weekend, and Gloria has decided to visit her estranged father on Martha's Vineyard to share the "good news" about her upcoming wedding. The five-day visit begins its grim descent instantly. Family history, brutal weather, and even enraged dogs conspire to tear this father-daughter relationship apart. As for the lives of acquaintances and loved ones around them? Ruined completely. Batten down the hatches! "The Nudist" will take you on a tempestuous journey from the boundaries of the absurd to the center of the naked human heart
