In a small Maine town, two adrift women discover unexpected passion when one models for the other. Jennifer Ehle and Alex Sarrigeorgiou shine in Jaclyn Bethany’s hushed yet deeply felt drama of art and desire.

Description

Two women meet at a crossroads in their lives and find something unexpected in each other. One woman is wasting away, bartending in a small Maine town while stuck in a relationship that’s lost its spark. The other, a painter, yearns to reconnect with her artistic practice. When the painter asks the bartender to model, a magnetic pull grows between them.

In this perceptively written and delicately observed drama, Jennifer Ehle and newcomer Alex Sarrigeorgiou (also the film’s screenwriter) deliver quietly bristling performances that reveal how making art together can unlock buried emotions. With hushed tones and simmering passion, director Jaclyn Bethany crafts a singular meditation on muses, desire, and the transformative power of creativity.

“In this quietly powerful drama, Jennifer Ehle and Alex Sarrigeorgiou deliver deeply nuanced performances, capturing the emotional undercurrents between two adrift women. Their subtle and sensitive portrayals illuminate how creating art together can unlock buried desires and unspoken truths with breathtaking intimacy. These two performances are one of many reasons to watch this film.” – Murtada Elfadl, Senior Programmer
