Nine Lives Overview

'Nine Lives' is a moving exploration of the individual experiences of nine women as told through nine single unbroken takes. As characters from one story reappear in supporting roles in others, Rodrigo Garcia interweaves a grand tapestry of universal resonance that hinges on performances from an incredible ensemble. By depicting nine different characters at emotional crossroads, 'Nine Lives' examines how we so often find ourselves captive in relationships, both past and present. Sandra is literally in prison and wants desperately to connect with her visiting child. Diana confronts the sudden flash of a past relationship long after she has moved on to a new life. Holly can't seem to move forward until her stepfather acknowledges the pain he has caused her. Sonia reels from her boyfriend's disclosure of an intimate secret to their closest friends. Teenager Samantha is caught in a static loop as the peacemaker between her parents. Lorna attempts to comfort her ex-husband after his wife's suicide and finds herself implicated in the tragic death. Ruth considers straying from married life during a motel rendezvous. Camille faces the limitations of her previously dependable body. Maggie allows her own life to be eclipsed by that of her young daughter, Maria. Filmmaker Rodrigo Garcia plumbs the depths with these nine everyday women who meet the travails and disappointments of life with a resilience that is at once heartening and heartbreaking.
