Director: Kari Skogland Writer: Kari Skogland Producer: Elizabeth Jarvis, Kari Skogland, Phyllis Laing Cast: Ellen Burstyn, Christine Horne, Cole Hauser, Ellen Page, Sheila McCarthy
Getting old isn't for sissies! The witty, irascible and fiercely proud Hagar Shipley escapes from home when her son Marvin and daughter in law Doris tell her she must move into nursing care. She sets out on a preposterous journey in search of a way to reconcile herself to her tumultuous past. Vulnerable to an aging brain, it becomes hard for Hagar to differentiate past from present and we come to know her as the passionate and rebellious bride in a remote prairie town whose proud father diso wns her when she marries the "wrong sort". Struggling to get to the safe haven of an abandoned house she remembers near the ocean, Hagar can't stop from reflecting on how her sprawling life was full of twists and joys denied.
