The story of a young woman, recently divorced, trying to find a meaning for her new life., 13 September 1998
10/10
Author: Frank Linares (frank@marbot.gu.se) from Gothenburg, Sweden

This is the story of Aimee Brower, a 28 year old woman who just recently divorced her husband. The movie takes us on what Aimee goes through trying to make some sense out of her newly found life, realizing that after all you can live by yourself.

What I find interesting about the movie is that we get to see the female point-of-view of divorce on the early 70s, when women weren't expected to have a career of their own or something else besides being married.
