"Seeing is Believing..."

Featuring memorable performances from Sigourney Weaver (Alien) and Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns),Keri Russell' and 'Alessandro Nivola this finely plotted psychological drama is the first feature from Tony and Pulitzer-award winning playwright, David Auburn.

Sixteen years after her daughter Maggie disappeared in Central Park, Julia (Weaver) has never recovered from the loss, and pursues a solitary existence after abandoning her career as a jazz singer. With her glamorous former life in freefall, the tormented mother is unable to reconcile with estranged son Chris (Alessandro Nivola), who is trying to revive their relationship in the months before he marries Celeste (Keri Russell - Felicity).

But when the tormented mother encounters a troubled, alluring young drifter, Louise (Kate Bosworth), the two begin a series of tense encounters before Julia takes Louise in. As their bond deepens, Julia reawakens to the pleasures of life - all the while believing that Louise could actually be her long-lost Maggie.
