A family struggles to come to terms with changes after a death in the family in this independent
drama.
Jim Winters (
Anthony LaPaglia) is a widower living in suburban New Jersey with his two teenage sons,
Gabe (
Aaron Stanford) and
Pete (
Mark Webber).
Pete, the younger of the siblings, has a hearing problem that has made school difficult for him; consequently, he has lost interest in his education and spends most of his time goofing off.
Gabe is smarter and more ambitious, and has a stable relationship with his girlfriend,
Stacey (
Michelle Monaghan), but is beginning to chafe at the limitations of small-town life. And five years after his wife's death,
Jim still hasn't been able to pick up and start his life over again. When
Gabe announces he's decided to move to Florida, it has differing effects on those around him --
Stacey, hurt and confused, begins to withdraw;
Pete strikes up a friendship with one of his teachers (
Ron Livingston); and
Jim struggles to work up the nerve to talk to his new neighbor,
Molly Ripkin (
Allison Janney.
Winter Solstice was the first feature film from writer and director
Josh Sternfeld; it won enthusiastic notices following its screenings at the
2004 Tribeca Film Festival.
