On a remote island in Nova Scotia, teenaged Claire (
Julia Brendler) slowly befriends Celia (
Lynn Redgrave), an eccentric novelist who is working on a manuscript. The manuscript, which is set a half-century ago, tells the story of Silly (
Kirsten Dunst), a young woman who tried to leave the island with the son (
Trent Ford) of a WWII naval officer.
Deeply cuts between past and present, contrasting the lives of the characters in the manuscript with those of Claire and Celia.
