Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman (Best Actress, The Hours, 2002), two-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep (Best Actress, Sophie's Choice, 1982; Best Supporting Actress, Kramer vs. Kramer, 1979) and Julianne Moore (Hannibal) - star as three women from different eras who are linked by their common yearnings and fears!

Virginia Woolf (Kidman), in a suburb of London in the early 1920s, is battling insanity as she begins to write her first great novel, Mrs. Dalloway. A wife and mother in post World War II Los Angeles, Laura Brown (Moore), is reading Mrs. Dalloway and finding it so revelatory that she begins to consider making a devastating change in her life. Clarissa Vaughan (Streep), a present-day version of Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, lives in New York city and is in love with a friend (Ed Harris - A Beautiful Mind) who is dying of AIDS. Also starring John C. Reilly (Gangs of New York), Claire Danes (Brokedown Palace) and Toni Collette (The Sixth Sense) - their engaging stories intertwine until they come together in a surprising moment of shared recognition.
