Elizabeth is an actress researching for her next film. She meets Gracie, who inspired the character of the film. Gracie and her husband John live in an elegant house and are raising three children. But their scandalous relationship begun when John was 12. The meeting with Elizabeth raises old questions and forces the three to examine themselves. Todd Haynes is one of the brightest filmmakers working in Hollywood today, and as in most of his films, here too he deals with the distance between the image (of the American dream) and reality. He relies on the same velvety colors that characterized his previous titles and great performances from his cast.
