Lorelei Linklater

Beau Baker, a washed out Occupy Wall Street protester, wakes up on the streets of New York City to the news of his parents death and that he must return home to Texas where his parents have left him in charge of his two teenage sisters.

In a quaint seaside village, a guarded young writer and a grieving aspiring author cross paths, forcing each other to confront their deepest fears, unravel family scars, and rediscover the courage to trust, love, and heal.

Unprecedented in its long-haul production methods, this expansive drama from writer-director Richard Linklater is a coming-of-age tale like no other. Nominated for six Oscars®—including a Supporting Actress win for Patricia Arquette—this is a deeply felt ode to growing pains and parental wisdom.
