DramaRomance

In California, a group of women struggle with personal problems as their paths intertwine in unexpected ways. Dr. Elaine Keener, the sole caretaker for her aging mother, turns to tarot card reader Christine for spiritual aid. Christine grapples with her own angst due to her lover's debilitating illness. Meanwhile, a bank manager deals with an unwanted pregnancy, two sisters pursue romantic interests and a housewife gets back into the dating game.

VIBE

This film feels like a quiet, introspective exploration of women navigating life's quiet heartbreaks and unexpected connections. It's a gentle, sometimes somber, look at vulnerability and the search for meaning amidst everyday struggles.
