In Housecleaning, Tom Flaherty's mother is suffering from a strange form of dementia that causes her to journey back in time; especially when she's housecleaning and finds personal items that trigger her memory. But Maude Flaherty's travels - from the Scopes Monkey trial in 1925 to the 1936 Berlin Olympics to the Civil Rights March on Washington in 1963 - might he the evidence Tom needs as a Caltech physicist to develop a unified theory of space, time, and place - string theory - and reconnect with a society he's lost touch with since the murder of his partner, Ken, 10 years ago.
