The Whales of August

Two elderly sisters, Libby Strong and Sarah Webber, travel to their summer house in Maine. The pair couldn't be less similar: Libby is blind, cynical and mean-spirited; Sarah is sunny, optimistic and healthy. Yet their shared memories and hardships -- especially the deaths of their husbands -- help bind the two together. Still, the entrance of a local fisherman into Sarah's life threatens to reopen old wounds.
