Dr. Allan Levi was recently diagnosed with manic depression and his career and family life both became unstable. Filmed over a year with Allan, his wife Jackie, and their three children, Sunny Intervals and Showers is an intimate and surprisingly funny portrait of a marriage and a family in crisis. Endearing yet self-obsessed, Allan leaves his career in medical research to start a business selling model airplanes throughout England. But is Allan's increasingly frenetic lifestyle evidence of illness, eccentricity, or simply hard work? This observational documentary depicts family life with affection and humour. Through Allan and the Levi family, we experience the often dramatic reality of living with manic depression – and the surprising consequences of being labelled mentally ill.
