What a Feeling

Marie Theres, 52, has the seemingly perfect life: she has been married to her husband Alexander for 20 years, raising their teenager daughter Anna and being a successful doctor. In an instance her life falls apart: her husband leaves, her daughter rebels, she gets suspended after making a near fatal mistake at the hospital and her friends abandon her. Thats when she meets Fa, a self-confident, independent, free spirited Iranian woman, who runs her own carpentry business with her siblings and takes care of their elderly mother. The two women could not be more different and more attracted to each-other. Each will have to break free from the confines they have built for themselves if they truly want to be happy.
