CONTENT WARNING:
Henry Hart is a young gay artist living in New York City. When his grandfather has a stroke, Henry puts his career on hold and returns home to the small town of Big Eden, Montana, to care for him. While there, Henry hopes to strike up a romance with Dean Stewart, his high-school best friend for whom he still has feelings. But he’s surprised when he finds that Pike, a quiet Native American who owns the local general store, may have a crush on him.
This film is presented in English with English subtitles.
Winner of the Audience Award at lesbian & gay film festivals in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles and elsewhere, Bezucha’s feature film debut tells the romantic tale of a New York City artist, Henry Hart, who returns home to Big Sky country to care for his ailing grandfather. When he arrives, Henry is reunited with Dean, his first love, who has also recently returned home—separated from his wife with two sons in tow. To further complicate matters, the town’s general store has a sexy, enigmatic new owner. This heartfelt film explores long-simmering passions and the beauty and heartache of love.

in person
Life is an endless cycle of cooking, laundry, and dishwashing for New Jersey housewife Julie Johnson (Lili Taylor). But Julie’s been nurturing a secret passion: a flair for scientific theory. Taking a huge step, Julie enrolls in a night class at a local high school—a decision that her best friend Claire (Courtney Love) supports. When Julie’s domineering husband strongly disapproves, Julie finally gets up the nerve to throw him out. Claire moves in while Julie and, together with Julie’s children, they form an unconventional but loving family—but lingering issues threaten to tear them apart. A story about self-discovery and shaky potential, Julie Johnson explores one woman’s desire to break free of other people’s expectations and the bravery required to pursue her dreams.
A New Jersey housewife is dissatisfied with her everyday life because she is smarter than she or anyone else knows. While taking a computer class, Julie discovers her abilities and finds the courage to make dramatic life changes. This is a story of realizing one�s potential and being willing to turn one�s life upside down to take a chance on finding happiness. Claire, Julie�s best friend, goes along with Julie�s secret quest and eventually moves in with her. Both women are on a search to realize their dreams and come to terms with their love for each other.
