Synopsis

As Constance (Natasha Richardson) and Nina (Toni Collette) gather at the deathbed of their mother, Ann (Vanessa Redgrave), they learn for the first time that their mother lived an entire other lifetime during one evening 50 years ago, one she kept secret all their lives. In vivid flashbacks, the young Ann (played by Claire Daines) spends one night with a man named Harris (Patrick Wilson), whom she'd remember so many years later as the love of her life. As her daughters try to face the loss of their mother and the struggle to be happy in their own lives, they piece together an idea of love, happiness, and the woman they called their mother. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide

This cast of women is magic, just magic. Ann is so loveable, you just want everything good to happen to her. First, her life is changed for the better, than the worse, all in one weekend. So profound was this one weekend that in her dying days that's all she can think on, even after a full and long life.
Her daughters play out the drama, tension and love that all sisters have between them with beautiful clarity. They had me wincing, laughing and crying.
The final question is, have you said all you need to say to a dying loved one? Did you get all your questions answered? And what, in the end, really matters?
