The Hours
The time to hide is over. The time to regret is gone. The time to live is now.
Directed by Stephen Daldry
Produced by Scott Rudin Productions, Robert Fox Productions
A deeply introspective, interconnected portrait of three women across time grappling with depression, mortality, and the search for authentic meaning in their lives.
The story of three women searching for more potent, meaningful lives. Each is alive at a different time and place, all are linked by their yearnings and their fears. Their stories intertwine, and finally come together in a surprising, transcendent moment of shared recognition.
