Instead of chasing boys on the beach with her friends, recent college grad Dora finds herself caring for her reclusive Great Aunt in snowy upstate New York. When the imaginative girl discovers her aunt's hidden romantic past, Dora dreams that their revelation will pull Aunt Vera and herself from their mutual depressions.
I had the privilege of attending the premier at SXSW in Austin and even had the chance to meet some of the cast members. Not an action-packed film by all means, but a poetic and intellectual story with added levels of complexity true to the relationships of women. They empower one another in different ways to help each other achieve their own dreams. At the same time, they also help each other through dark times which brought out the best in themselves. Crisp and white winter sceneries brought a sense of peace and serenity throughout the film. Veteran Diane Ladd's performance was outstanding with several up and coming actresses to look out for!
