Storyline

Hannah and Rachel grew up as little girls in the same small Midwest town, where traditional gender expectations eventually challenge their deep love for one another. Hannah becomes an adventurous, unapologetic lesbian and Rachel a strong but quiet homemaker. Weaving back and forth between past and present, the film reveals how the women maintained their love affair despite a marriage, a world war, infidelities, and family denial.

To women live their lives together in spite of their religion

This movie is not the box office style, It's so simple ,and image two woman in love from their childhood to death . The start of the film is a beautiful natural scenes that story will happen in them with the brilliant music composed by Martie Marro . You will see a lot of flashbacks trough the story. I think this movie is one of the best movies with lesbian theme. It sketch the dream of a lot lesbians in this world. Maybe in some countries that gay marriage is accepted by their people or government , but in a lot of countries , lesbians dream of moving in with their lover, so it's a huge inspiration for lesbians. If you love somebody , you can relate to the movie very easily. The dialog's were not that strong and some of the time was irrelevant but with the remarkable play of Sharon Gless , Maureen Gallagher and Ann Hagemann was covered. If you are a lesbian , you must see this, because it's remind you what we are fighting for, and show us how silly sometimes we run away from something we love .I really enjoyed watching it and the last time that I cried so hard with a movie with a movie was titanic. It is brilliant.
