"An extraordinarily... compellingly human drama." - The Hollywood Reporter

The visionary writer-director behind such films as Passion Fish, Lone Star and Sunshine State, Oscar nominee John Sayles has been at the forefront of independant cinema for more than twenty years.

In this moving and compassionate film, Sayles presents a "sympathetic, realistic portrait" (Boxoffice) of Lianna, a young wife and mother who leaves her husband for another woman and embarks on a turbulent journey of self-discovery. Lianna must face the anger and confusion of her husband as well as the raised eyebrows of her community. But when her new lover also rejects her, she faces the most difficult task of all: She must learn to love herself.
