Kramer vs. Kramer

Ted Kramer, a workaholic advertising executive in New York City, has just landed an important account and job promotion. However, when he shares the news with Joanna, his wife of eight years, she shocks him by announcing she is leaving him. She also leaves their seven-year-old son Billy, claiming she is an unfit mother. Ted begins a life struggling to balance his demanding job with being an attentive single parent. Ted confides in Joanna’s best friend, Margaret Phelps, and the two become close as they each navigate through their respective post-divorce adjustments.
