Gilbert Grape lives in Endora, a place where nothing much happens. The
only times the police have something to do is when Gilbert's retarded brother,
Arnie, climbs the town's watertower. Gilbert's father is gone, and it's
up to him to take care of Arnie, his two sisters, and his 400-lb mother,
who's a shut-in. Then one day Becky and her grandmother pass through Endora
and have car trouble. Gilbert falls in love with Becky, but his family
must come first...
