NewFest37 Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature
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.
