| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Imaginative, impetuous and wild Diana (Evan Rachel Wood) can't
wait for her adult life to begin. Whiling away the final days
of high school in the lush springtime, Diana tests her limits
with sex and drugs as her more conservative friend Maureen
(Eva Amurri) watches with concern. But Diana's aura of invincibility
is shattered when a senseless act of violence erupts at school,
forever changing the lives of the two best friends.
Fifteen years later, a grown Diana (Uma Thurman) is still
trying to come to terms with the traumatic events of that
fateful day.
On the surface, the adult Diana has made a picture perfect
life for herself. She's still living in the sleepy Connecticut
suburb she grew up in with her husband Paul, a professor at
the local college. Her beautiful young daughter, Emma, is
smart and creative, and possesses a fiercely independent streak
reminiscent of her mother. But all is not well - as the anniversary
of her adolescent trauma approaches, the darkness that Diana
has tried to escape closes in. Meanwhile, her husband has
become increasingly absent, her daughter has taken to hiding
from teachers, and worst of all, Diana's own grip on reality
is starting to falter.
Moving seamlessly through both stages of Diana's evolution,
THE LIFE BEFORE HER EYES delves deep into the crossroads that
we all face -- where a simple decision can change the course
of everything to come, and where a lifetime can be encapsulated
in a single moment. With THE LIFE BEFORE HER EYES, Vadim Perelman,
director of the acclaimed HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG, has established
himself as one of America's greatest young directors of serious,
probing drama.
