Description: Set in the beach community of East Hampton, New York, the
film chronicles one pivotal summer in the lives of famous childrens books
author Ted Cole (Jeff Bridges) and his beautiful wife Marion (Kim Basinger).
Their once-great marriage has been strained by tragedy. The Coles lovingly
parent their surviving child, bright 4-year-old Ruth (Elle Fanning), who takes
everything in stride as perhaps only a child can. But Marions equation of love
with loss, coupled with Teds infidelities, points towards a much-needed change
in the relationship. That may come in the form of Eddie OHare (Jon Foster), the
young man Ted hires to work as his summer assistant and, Ted hopes, the
catalyst to invigorate the Coles bond of marriage. Eddie idolizes Ted, but
Teds erratic work habits soon leave Eddie to his own devices. Marion becomes an
object of desire for Eddie, rekindling in her some surprising emotions as a
mother and as a woman. To Eddies surprise and delight, his yearning is potently
reciprocated. As he becomes passionately entwined with the seemingly fragile yet
increasingly bold Marion, Eddie comes to realize that, similarly, Teds surface
fecklessness hides something deeper within. As the summer draws to a close,
Marion and Ted must make difficult decisions about the future of their family.
Adapted from John Irvings best-selling novel "A Widow for One Year."
Cast: Jeff Bridges (Ted Cole), Kim Basinger (Marion Cole), Elle Fanning (Ruth Cole), Jon Foster, Bijou Phillips, Mimi Rogers; other cast not announced yet.
