Synopsis:
There are moments frozen under glass.
Inga (Academy award winner Marcia Gay Harden) is a poet. She
wants to buy and restore a house she is drawn to that
reminds her of her childhood home, but her distant husband
Hermann (Michael Gaston) sees little value in it or many of
the things Inga loves. Inga realizes that many things in her
life are coming full circle. Her crumbling marriage is a
stark contrast to her relationship with her 8-year-old
daughter, (Eulala Scheel, Ms. Harden’s real life daughter)
with whom she shares her hopes, fears and inner-most
thoughts following her recovery from breast cancer. By day
their lives seem magical, full of cloud watching, kite
flying and lazy summer drives. But at night, Inga is
troubled by her marriage, its lack of intimacy and her fear
of her own mortality. By weaving optimism into her life’s
story it is in her own writing that she hears the echo of
her mother’s journey and experiences the revelation that
allows her transformation.
