The Inner Circle
2003, 89 minutes, Rated M
A touching story that explores the very real impact of a woman's battle with a life-threatening illness can have on her inner circle of friends. When Barbara, a recent breast cancer survivor, throws an intimate birthday party for their best friend Jean, the events of the evening slowly wear down the defences that Barbara has built up to hide her post operative fears.
Barbara's husband Jack, who until now has been avoiding the changing attitude in his wife by being physically absent from her much of the time, finally speaks his mind in front of the entire dinner party. His hurtful words cause the emotional chasm between him and his wife to deepen still further.
Over the course of an evening, their friend's love, support and exasperated calls for action, prompt Barbara and Jack to finally open up to one another about their experience. Finally speaking freely about the illness and how it has affected their relationship, they allow the real healing process to begin.
In the end we are shown that even in our most personal battles, there is a healing power that evolves from our network of friends and family.
