In the Bedroom
A young man. An older woman. Her ex-husband. Things are about to explode...
Directed by Todd Field
Produced by Good Machine, GreeneStreet Films
A devastating portrait of grief and moral collapse in a close-knit family, where the beauty of a Maine summer masks the unraveling of love and restraint.
Summertime on the coast of Maine, "In the Bedroom" centers on the inner dynamics of a family in transition. Matt Fowler is a doctor practicing in his native Maine and is married to New York born Ruth Fowler, a music teacher. His son is involved in a love affair with a local single mother. As the beauty of Maine's brief and fleeting summer comes to an end, these characters find themselves in the midst of unimaginable tragedy.
