Between Strangers
2002, 98 minutes, Rated M
A probing and revealing drama, BETWEEN STRANGERS interweaves the stories of three women who, though strangers to each other, are grappling with curiousity intertwined dreams, desires and choices whose consequences haunt their daily lives.
Olivia (Sophia Loren) has been secretly sketching for years, but recently there is an urgency for her drawings. Recurring dreams pull her toward the daughter she was forced to give up when she fell pregnant as a young girl. Natalia (Mira Sorvino) has just commanded her first magazine cover as a photojournalist, but an aching to know what happened to the Angolian subject of her cover prevents Natalia from celebrating her notoriety and leads her on a new course. Catherine (Deborah Kara Unger), an accomplished cellist consumed with lingering emotional pain, has disappeared from her family and is wavering unsteadily as she attempts to exact revenge on the source of her anxiety.
As each story unfolds, the women find themselves transported by the vision of a young girl. At once an image of a bygone childhood and a pressing reminder of lingering desires, the young girl inspires the women to live more liberated lives and pursue their dreams with a newfound free spirit.
