ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Trapped in a loveless marriage, a troubled writer (Kate Bosworth, BLUE CRUSH) experiences a sexual awakening when she meets a carefee American (Jamie Blackley) in Italy. A portrait of broken love, forbidden passion and self-discovery, Director Kat Coiro's (A CASE OF YOU, LIFE HAPPENS) sophomore feature premiered at 2012's Tribeca and Locarno Film Festivals. "Its depiction of womanhood, particularly as it does and does not relate to the romantic male counterpart, establishes Coiro's presence as a new, potent voice in filmmaking" (Paste Magazine).

SYNOPSIS

Set in the lush hills and cobbled streets of the Amalfi Coast, Jane is searching for something more from her life.  She loves her husband (Iddo Goldberg), but the silence between them is growing. Her work, writing her grandmother’s memoir (voiced by Claire Bloom), immerses her in the quiet beauty of the town, its islands…and finally, in the romantic embrace of a younger man (Jamie Blackley).  Jane must decide where her passions will take her, and who she really wants to be, as she documents the discoveries of AND WHILE WE WERE HERE.
