Adapted by Ethan Hawke from his own novel
of the same name, THE HOTTEST STATE is a bittersweet romance
that distills the joy, pain, erotic highs, and emotional
lows of first love. Ethan Hawke directs and co-stars in the
film along with Mark Webber, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and
Laura Linney.
Days before his 21st birthday, William (Mark Webber), an
actor, meets and quickly falls madly in love with Sara
(Oscar-nominee Catalina Sandino Moreno), a seductive yet
elusive singer/songwriter. The film follows William from a
Lower East Side tenement to a Mexican hotel room to a
snowbound weekend in Connecticut to a sweltering homecoming
in the hottest state of all – Texas – in the pursuit of
Sara. His stubborn and sweetly innocent quest to find
someone who loves him as much as he loves her may not lead
to happiness, but surely leads to newfound maturity.
