Plot:
From all outward appearances, Pippa Lee (ROBIN WRIGHT PENN) leads
a charmed existence. An anchor of feminine serenity, she is the
devoted wife of an accomplished publisher (ALAN ARKIN) thirty
years her senior, the proud mother of two grown children, and
a trusted friend and confidant to all who cross her path. But
as Pippa dutifully follows her husband to a new life in a staid
Connecticut retirement community, her idyllic world and the persona
she has built over the course of her marriage will be put to the
ultimate test. In truth, the gracious woman of the present day
has seen more than her fair share of turmoil in her past - an
array of erotic misadventures, a diet-pill-addicted mother and
the suicide of an exotic rival - until finding love and security
in a family of her own. Embarking on a bittersweet journey of
self-discovery, along with help from a new, strange and soulful
acquaintance (KEANU REEVES), Pippa must now confront both her
volatile past and the hidden undercurrents of her seemingly placid
world to find the true sense of self which has always eluded her.
By turns wry, humorous, and emotionally exacting, THE PRIVATE
LIVES OF PIPPA LEE presents the complex portrait of the many lives
behind a single name.
