BASED on one of the most acclaimed novels of the 20th Century and starring Academy Award Winner for Best Actress in Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore Ellen Burstyn and Academy Award nominee for Best Actress in Juno Ellen Page comes an epic, passionate story of one woman’s journey and the power of the human spirit.
Feisty firecracker Hagar Shipley (Ellen Burnstyn) has lived an unconventional life. Her compulsive heart has always ruled her impetuous head and her choices have put up barriers between family and friends.
As her life enters its winter years, Hagar sets out in search of a way to reconcile herself to her turbulent past. Through her reflections we come to know an impulsive and rebellious bride, her love for her two sons, the freedom she claimed, and the joys she denied herself.
