"I am at home here, in this lush green, in the summer meadow turning gold and orange and brown. There is heavy sadness to wade through. There are decisions to be made."
synopsis for the film
Anna is searching for love. She is also searching for her place in the world. She has always felt a little disconnected and out of place. Growing up in a suburban town in northeast Ohio in the late 1980’s, Anna feels most at home in the small pockets of nature she has access to — meadows behind shopping centers, patches of woods between houses. Here, she imagines a magical world all her own.
Now in her mid-thirties, Anna is living in Los Angeles. She moved to this city with a vague, romantic idea of being a writer and creating worlds of her own. Finding little commercial success, Anna finds herself floating, living in a dream, living in a past that isn’t her own, trying desperately to connect with the world.
After receiving a phone call about a family emergency, Anna abruptly travels back to Ohio. Here, she reacquaints herself with the fields, forests, and meadows of her childhood — the ones that still exist — and she discovers something she maybe already knew — all the time she spent looking for love, she should have been listening.
