How long can you love the one who hurts you ?
Lobster is about a marriage, and a family who suffer emotional and physical abuse at the hands of their wife and mother.When Joe stops Catherine hitting one of their children he pushes Catherine over and she breaks her arm. The police are called and Joe is arrested for domestic violence and seems to accept his fate. When it is apparent he could lose his kids as well he tries unsuccessfully to fight the charges.
Stella works on the cliff edge further down the bay and hunts fossilised lobsters – she sees Joe daily with his dog on the beach, and looks at him from a distance when he is out at sea fishing for lobster and crab. Lonely and looking for a mate, Stella goes about seducing Joe.
Joe becomes trapped as he faces losing his children or his new friend Stella who through his need for affection, touch and intimacy he is unable to stop seeing.
