Storyline

Two-time Emmy Award winning actress Jess Walton (The Young and the Restless) stars as a woman who, on the surface, has a model life. Margaret Rose has three children, a husband who loves her, and is very comfortable financially. She should be happy, but all she really thinks about is finding a way out. Having no friends and knowing that she cannot share her helplessness with her husband, she turns to the things that comfort her the most... The brown paper bags who ride home from the market with her each day.

Life and Death are both precious.

After seeing Will & Grace's The Final Bow (curtain Call), I had to hunt this director down. I finally caught it at a festival and was so happy that I did.

The direction is superb, the story is heartfelt and well written, and Jess Walton's performance was remarkable. The shots that the director, Danny Schrader used were complex and sophisticated and helped move the story along with ease.

I recommend this film to everyone. The depth of the story resonates long after the film is over. You will think about it for years to come. It will give you a new perspective on life!
