At fifty, Pippa Lee (Robin Wright Penn) positively glows with feminine serenity, the devoted wife of a brilliant publisher thirty years her senior, the proud mother of successful twins, and a lovely and adored friend and neighbour. But when her husband spontaneously decides they leave New York for Marigold village retirement home as a "pre-emptive strike against decrepitude," and then proceeds to have an affair with someone even younger than she is, Pippa finds her carefully constructed persona unravelling in alarming ways. The truth is, the gracious woman of the present day has seen more than her fair share of the wild side: an array of erotic adventures, a diet-pill-addicted mother, a short-lived career in lesbian soft-porn, the glorious suicide of a love rival, until finding love and security in a family of her own. And now that cosy world, too, is in danger.

This smart comedy drama is the work of Rebecca Miller, director behind films like The Ballad of Jack and Rose, Personal Velocity and Angela. The film features a stellar cast with among others Robin Wright Penn, Alan Arkin, Monica Bellucci, Julianne Moore, Keanu Reeves Winona Ryder and Blake Lively. 

Produced by Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment. Official selection, out of competition at the Berlin Film Festival 2009.
