Carolina

Dutch filmmaker Marleen Gorris directs the romantic comedy Carolina, written by Los Angeles-based screenwriter Katherine Fugate . Julia Stiles stars as Carolina Mirabeau, a young woman who grows up in an eccentric southern family. She and her two sisters — Georgia ( Azura Skye ) and Maine ( Mika Boorem ) — have been raised by their well-meaning if meddling grandmother ( Shirley MacLaine ). Carolina's family seems to think that she should marry the novelist Albert ( Alessandro Nivola ), whom she has known since childhood. However, when she starts dating the well-to-do Heath ( Edward Atterton ), Albert becomes very jealous. Carolina has to choose which man she wants without letting her grandmother take over. — Andrea LeVasseur
