The Whirligig

When, after much time away, Kristina returns to Berkshire County, word spreads that she and her ex-husband are caring for their estranged, ailing daughter Julie. Visitors from Julie’s complicated past, including her childhood best friend and her former drug dealer, practically trip over each other to reach the young woman they thought they’d lost years before but still feel deeply connected to. Heartfelt and compassionate, Hamish Linklater’s The Whirligig spins a tale of a fractured community weaving a circuitous route back to one another. ​
