ANYWHERE BUT HERE

ANYWHERE BUT HERE is a touching comedy/ drama about the ties of family.

In the summer of 1995, Adele August moves her fourteen-year-old daughter Ann from Wisconsin to Beverly Hills. Adele is stifled by life in a small town and wants to pursue her colorful dreams; Ann is being moved against her will and is furious about it. But Adele is tired of defending herself against her daughter's longings for a permanent home and family, and she feels that she is taking Ann away from a lifeless future and offering her an exciting new world. Over the next two years, Ann and Adele adjust to the reality of life in Los Angeles. Adele remains on the outside looking in, always restless for more. Ann is the realist, seeing things for what they are, sometimes more the mother than the daughter. Together, they are on a journey of discovery - of new possibilities, of their respective dreams and of what they mean to each other.
