In his feature writing/directing debut,
award-winning filmmaker Dennis Lee guides a stellar ensemble
in this haunting family drama of recrimination and
reconciliation in FIREFLIES IN THE GARDEN. Oscar-winner
Julia Roberts is at the center of the story playing a
beleaguered family matriarch who has subordinated her needs
and desires to those of her family, particularly her cold,
demanding husband (Oscar-nominee Willem Dafoe). Roberts’
sudden death brings her entire clan together and triggers a
series of flashbacks that reveal how the today’s seeds of
discontent were planted years earlier. Starring Julia
Roberts, Ryan Reynolds, Willem Dafoe, Emily Watson,
Carrie-Anne Moss, Hayden Panettiere, and Ioan Gruffud,
FIREFLIES IN THE GARDEN juxtapositions the past and present
in a fluid, lyrical, and emotionally resonant manner to show
us that, while family is hard to live with, it is impossible
to live without.
