 From
Alexander Payne, the creator of the Oscar®-winning SIDEWAYS,
THE DESCENDANTS is set inHawaii
and follows the unpredictable journey of an American family at a
crossroads. Matt King (George Clooney), a husband and father of
two girls, must re-examine his past and navigate his future when
his wife is in a boating accident off Waikiki. He awkwardly
attempts to repair his relationship with his daughters - 10
year-old precocious Scottie (Amara Miller) and rebellious 17
year-old Alexandra (Shailene Woodley) - while wrestling with a
decision to sell his family’s land. Handed down from Hawaiian
royalty and missionaries, the Kings own some of the last
priceless virgin parcels of tropical beach in the islands.
When
Alexandra drops the bombshell that her mother was in the midst
of a romantic fling at the time of the accident, Matt has to
take a whole new look at his life, not to mention his legacy,
during a week of momentous decisions. With his girls in tow, he
embarks on a haphazard search for his wife’s lover. Along the
way, in encounters alternately funny, troublesome and
transcendent, he realizes he’s finally on course toward
rebuilding his life and family.
