Beautiful
Sometimes you have to give up the life of your dreams to discover the dream of your life.
Directed by Sally Field
A warm, character-driven comedy-drama about an ambitious woman learning to prioritize human connection over external achievement through an unlikely bond with a child.
Headstrong Mona Hubbard is fiercely driven to capture the coveted Miss American Miss beauty award, but an unusual circumstance teams her with a soccer-playing, deep-dimpled little girl named Vanessa.
