DIRECTED BYRebecca Miller111mins2005

Selfhood begins with a walking away, and love is proved in the letting go.

Jack Slavin is an environmentalist with a heart condition who lives with his daughter, Rose, on an isolated island.

When he invites his girlfriend, Kathleen, and her sons, Rodney and Thaddius, to move in, Rose is upset. The complicated family dynamics makes things difficult for everyone in the house.
