Puzzle
Directed by Marc Turtletaub
A quiet, introspective character study of a suburban housewife discovering selfhood and passion through puzzle-solving, tinged with wistful melancholy and gentle hope.
After years of caring exclusively for the needs of her husband and children, Agnes, a devoted housewife living in a small town near New York, has found something she really enjoys doing: solving puzzles.
