Overview
Based upon the award-winning story of the very same name, this boldly sensual yet movingly tender picture of a team of vulnerable, otherwise injured individuals-- a clinically depressed housewife, her high-school-aged enthusiast, and also his buddy, who is struggling to attend to himself and his aged grandmother-- whose intersecting lives generate both sadness and a fragile, yet withstanding, hope for a brighter future.
