Cloudburst

Oscar-winning actresses Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker as Stella and Dot, an aging couple who escape from a nursing home in Maine and drive to Nova Scotia on a quest to be legally married. Stella and Dot have been together for 31 years and have faithfully accompanied one another through life's ups and downs. Now in their seventies, Stella is hard of hearing and Dot is legally blind. En route to Canada, they pick up a young hitchhiker, Prentice, a small-town boy turned modern dancer, who is returning to Nova Scotia to visit his dying mother. Despite his bravado, Prentice is a confused and wounded soul who has much to learn from Stella and Dot as they wage their own unexpected battle after three decades - to keep their family together. With equal parts humor and grace, Cloudburst explores the important themes of life, death and love through the eyes of this oddball trio.
