Heather Graham stars in this indie exploration of love and marital commitment directed by
Lisa Krueger. A hardcore believer in the sanctity of marriage, plucky Joline (
Graham) is stunned when her husband Carl (
Luke Wilson) abruptly dumps her, leaving only a vaguely-worded note to explain himself. Undaunted, Joline leaves New York to look for her man and discovers him in the wild west of El Paso, Texas, after meeting a bevy of ne'er-do-wells and weirdos along the way. She discovers that Carl is shacked up with a beautiful Hispanic woman named Carmen (
Patricia Velasquez). Meanwhile, Joline's flirtatious brother Jay (
Casey Affleck) shows up from the Big Apple to look after his sister. Later, two men enter Joline's life. One is Neil (
Goran Visnjic), Carl's hunky, beguiling neighbor, who increasingly becomes the object of Joline's affection, and Grampy (
Alfonso Arau), an aging Mexican medicine man who becomes Joline's spiritual guide. This film was screened at the 2000
Sundance Film Festival.
