WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Academy Award® winner Olympia Dukakis stars in this haunting Tennessee Williams drama. In her picturesque Italian mountaintop home, Flora Goforth, a wealthy American widow has detached from the world in order to write her memoirs. When a handsome and mysterious young visitor arrives without warning to keep Flora company in her final hours, this dreamlike play blossoms into a fascinating meditation on life and death.
