The Private Lives of Pippa Lee tells the story of Pippa Lee, who feels dislocated when she and her husband Herb move from Manhattan to a retirement community. Herb is older than Pippa, they have two young adult children, and their daughter hardly speaks to Pippa.
In long flashbacks, Pippa recounts her life, starting with her birth to a mother who was a social dynamo and addicted to pills. As a teenager, Pippa moves out and lives a hippie life until she meets Herb, who was then married to a young siren. Pippa reveals tragedies and discoveries from her past.
In the present, Pippa is sleepwalking at night and occasionally talking with a burned-out neighbor's son who is 35 years old. The question remains: Can Pippa connect with those around her?
