A weekend stay at a Vermont summer house provides glimpses into the
lives of six unhappy people, plagued by unrequited feelings, thoughts
and desires.
Mia Farrow plays Lane, a troubled woman who hides from a terrible childhood memory. She's in love with Peter (
Sam Waterston), who is tempted by Stephanie (
Dianne Wiest),
her good friend. As the summer days come to a close, resentments and
anger come to the surface, many of them related to Lane's relationship
with her actress mother (Elaine Stritch).
