Sandra
(Elpida Carrillo), is literally in prison and wants desperately
to connect with her visiting child. Diana (Robin Wright Penn)
confronts the sudden flash of a past relationship long after
she has moved on to a new life. Holly (Lisa Gay Hamilton)
can’t seem to move forward until her stepfather acknowledges
the pain he has caused her. Sonia (Holly Hunter) reels from
her boyfriend’s disclosure of an intimate secret to
their closest friends. Teenager Samantha (Amanda Seyfreid)
is caught in a static loop as the peacemaker between her parents.
Lorna (Amy Brenneman) attempts to comfort her ex-husband after
his wife’s suicide and finds herself implicated in the
tragic death. Ruth (Sissy Spacek) considers straying from
married life during a motel rendezvous. Camille (Kathy Baker)
faces the limitations of her previously dependable body. Maggie
(Glenn Close) allows her own life to be eclipsed by that of
her young daughter, Maria (Dakota Fanning).
NINE LIVES is a moving exploration of the individual experiences
of nine women as told through nine single unbroken takes.
By depicting nine different characters at emotional crossroads,
NINE LIVES examines how we so often find ourselves captive
in relationships, both past and present |
