A NOTE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Welcome to the 29th Mill Valley Film Festival!

MAYOR’S PROCLAMATION City of Mill Valley, Office of the Mayor

Despite digital filmmaking’s democratization of the medium, a good film is still a very difficult thing to make. A successful film that engages the audience relies more often than not on good, old-fashioned storytelling. This year’s Mill Valley Film Festival is blessed with compelling films that are eloquent and passionate, with stories that transport us to other worlds—real, possible and fantastic. This 29th edition of MVFF will show 231 films in 11 days: 104 features, of which 38 are premieres, and 127 short films. Festival events include our everpopular Children’s FilmFest; the New Movies Lab with its opportunities for aspiring filmmakers to dialogue with veteran artists; our stellar and star-studded opening and closing galas; the MVFF tributes, awarded to those who exemplify excellence in their art; and a fine complement of musical performances and other activities. This year we are proud to honor Helen Mirren, clearly one of the most highly regarded actors on stage or screen. Included in our tribute program is the screening of her latest award-winning performance in The Queen, from director Stephen Frears. We are also excited to have uncompromising filmmaker and superbly gifted actor Tim Robbins as a tributee this year. His latest film Catch a Fire, directed by Phillip Noyce and with superb performances by Derek Luke and Bonnie Henna, screens at the Festival. The spotlight award this year goes to director Alejandro González Iñárritu. Closely on the heels of his first two features, Amores Perros and 21 Grams, Babel, which will be shown as part of the spotlight program, has confirmed initial critical and popular opinion that Iñárritu is a most original and significant director. The Festival opens with two powerful films: the US premiere of Breaking and Entering, Anthony Minghella’s multilayered relationship drama starring Jude Law, Juliette Binoche and Robin Wright Penn; and Kevin Macdonald’s intense thriller The Last King of Scotland, starring Forest Whitaker in a brilliant portrayal of former Ugandan president Idi Amin. Our closing film is the world premiere of The Astronaut Farmer, the Polish brothers’ highly anticipated new feature starring Billy Bob Thornton and Virginia Madsen.

WHEREAS, the Mill Valley Film Festival has presented outstanding local and international films in this community for 29 years; and WHEREAS, the Mill Valley Film Festival fulfills the important function of providing filmmakers an audience for their works; and WHEREAS, international filmmakers and the film community in Marin County enhance our cultural life by participating in the Mill Valley Film Festival; and WHEREAS, filmmakers, volunteers, sponsors and filmgoers join together to make the Film Festival one of the Bay Area’s social and cultural highlights of the year; NOW, THEREFORE, I, Anne B. Solem, Mayor of the City of Mill Valley, take great pleasure in supporting the 29th Annual Festival by proclaiming October 5–15, 2006, as Mill Valley Film Festival Days in Mill Valley.

ANNE B. SOLEM Mayor of Mill Valley

Between opening and closing are literally hundreds of great shorts, documentaries and narrative ﬁlms from 43 countries. My hope is that you will have the chance to see as many of these incredible ﬁlms as possible. As always, I would like to remind our Festival attendees that in producing a festival of this caliber, approximately 50 percent of our income is generated by contributions. I also want to thank everyone who has once again worked tirelessly to make the Festival possible: to our generous donors, our dedicated staff, our board of directors and volunteer staff, our wonderful audiences and, of course, especially the artists whose creations we are so privileged and excited to share.

In Memoriam: Joan Lehua OCTOBER 31, 1927—JULY 3, 2006

Joan Lehua embraced life with a love, openness and generosity that touched her family, her friends and, as a long-time volunteer at Mill Valley Film Festival, the local community. Many Festival-goers who might not have known her by name would recognize Joan by her graceful presence as she took tickets at the door of the Sequoia—one of the many roles she played in her incredible decade and a half of support for the Festival. She brought her warmth, her kindness and her sense of fun to many a backstage task, stuffing envelopes and the like even at times when her health was challenging. A 50-year resident of Strawberry, Joan was full of energy and enthusiasm for all she did. She loved to cook and regularly brought wonderful soups to the MVFF offices at the height of the Festival season; she loved to camp and she loved to dance—she was always the first to tell you she had a great pair of legs. Most of all, she loved her family: her late husband, Manuel; her children, Connie (Katsumi), Janet and Robert; her grandchildren, Desone (Jackie) and Kahea; and her great-grandchild, Thalia.

Breaking in, breaking up, breaking the law—reality and metaphor crash loudly and with muted intensity throughout this multilayered drama by the talented Mr. Anthony Minghella (Cold Mountain, The English Patient). A successful landscape architect, Will (Jude Law) and his partner open a new high-tech office in London’s sketchy King’s Cross neighborhood, where they’ve planned a grand redevelopment project. Within days, the office is burglarized, and in the aftermath relationships quickly begin to unravel and intersect. Staking out the office in hopes of intercepting the thieves, Will catches Miro, a teenage refugee from Sarajevo, in the act. Rather than have him arrested, Will finds himself impulsively drawn toward Miro’s single mother, Amira (Juliette Binoche). With distance growing between Will and Liv, his long-term Swedish-American girlfriend (Robin Wright Penn), Will becomes enmeshed in a complex tale of fidelity, ethnicity, and the fierce devotion of a mother to her child. —J.

Through a fluke, a young Scottish doctor becomes personal physician to brutal Ugandan president Idi Amin, in this compelling fiction set against actual historical events of the 1970s. Forest Whitaker carves a towering performance, equally funny and ferocious as the charismatic tyrant who makes a personal confidant of his bedazzled medic, played by James McAvoy. At first the doctor thoroughly enjoys his new power and privileges, with Amin’s eccentric bravado and seductive charm blinding him to the true nature of his Faustian bargain. By the time he discovers the extent of his leader’s murderous acts and atrocities, however, it may be too late for him to escape from the heart of darkness. Based on the novel by Giles Foden, and also starring Kerry Washington and Gillian Anderson, this intense and absorbing thriller was filmed on location in Uganda by Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald (One Day in September, Touching the Void). —R.

These five fine, fearless films explore with dignity and respect the risks and rewards of lives lived outside the mainstream, either by choice, by birth or by social assignation. Arwen Curry and Cerissa Tanner’s Stuffed (21 mins) documents the strangely universal phenomenon of compulsive hoarding and begs the question “Do I always need more?” Ajae Clearway’s One in 2000 (26 mins) cleverly employs ’50s-era educational footage to examine the scientific fact and frequency of sexual ambiguity and intersex identity. Kristine Samuelson and John Haptas’ The Days and the Hours (8 mins) looks at the homeless and transient individuals who find shelter in the pews of San Francisco’s St. Boniface Church. Carrie Lozano’s Reporter Zero (25 mins) is a loving homage to the remarkable work of San Francisco–based journalist Randy Shilts, who broke the silence on the growing AIDS crisis among gay men in the 1980s. And Ruby Yang’s incredibly moving and powerful film, The Blood of Yingzhao District (39 mins), takes us on a sad tour of AIDS-infected China, told through the faces of afflicted and orphaned children.—K.

Friendship between a homeless man and a middle-class child forces both to re-examine their lives and places in society. The moral leader of a homeless encampment, Pan struggles to provide for his group. Bobby, a fatherless youngster, naturally gravitates toward this leader, but the boy’s presence soon challenges the encampment’s way of life. Rob Nilsson (Need, MVFF 2005; SAMT, MVFF 2004; Attitude, MVFF 2003) doesn’t settle for easy answers or shy away from complexity in his storytelling. Continuing to rely on the Tenderloin Y Group, a company of homeless actors, this seventh installment in Nilsson’s 9@Night series tackles heavyweight issues of all kinds with equal fervor, from prostitution and alcohol abuse to the meaning of art. Alternately euphoric and profoundly sobering, Pan is the ultimate odyssey, not only into the grim realities of the Bay Area’s destitute, but into the human constitution of two friends from separate worlds.—I.

Shazia and Tasneem Jamal can’t understand why their parents won’t let them celebrate Christmas in addition to their own festivals—in their multicultural classroom, they’ve learned about religious celebrations of all kinds. They decide on their own to enjoy Christmas and a visit from Santa, like their best friend Kylie Jenkins does. The Jamals and Jenkinses are friendly with each other, but both sets of parents are uncomfortable allowing their children to embrace other religious celebrations, and possibly other beliefs. It is left to the children to show the adults that faith is not compromised by an appreciation of other religions and that celebrating each other’s holidays can foster understanding and peace. Shazia and Tasneem’s Christmas tree becomes a peace tree, its decorations celebrating all faiths. Ages 4+ —R. McNair children’s filmfest

After the ﬁlm, we will build our own peace tree with director Mitra Sen. See page 28 for event information.

In English • Have Christmas in October with the entertaining odd couple, farmer Pettson and his mischievous cat Findus. The Swedish equivalent of Santa Claus or a Christmas elf is the Tomte. When Findus complains that the Tomte never visits him, the always sympathetic and accommodating Pettson decides to build a mechanical Tomte to surprise his feline friend. Pettson’s mechanical wizardry doesn’t seem to be enough to do the trick, though, and as Christmas approaches, he hasn’t ﬁnished the project. That’s when more than a few miracles happen. This is the third of the Pettson and Findus animated features based on the books by Sven Nordqvist, and if you haven’t seen one, you have a real surprise coming. Gentle, quietly funny and thoughtful, this tremendously enjoyable cartoon pair will capture every child’s heart. All ages.—J. Morrison children’s filmfest

An elderly couple fleeing ethnic cleansing are granted a mystical reprieve. In this adaptation of three Ervin Lázár short stories, director Péter Gárdos concocts a perfect blend of pathos, psychological dread and deadpan absurdism. You’re never sure what the veteran Hungarian filmmaker may have up his sleeve from one story to the next—Richard Lester-like zaniness might suddenly give way to macabre stylings or shellshocked modernity as Lázár translates the author’s folksy magical realism into a triptych of mystery and imagination. Supernatural curses and snake-tongued bureacrats may be as ordinary as petty jealousy and mistrust, but this sort of vibrant Eastern European moviemaking is the kind that only comes around once in a pale blue moon.—D.

“I paint from reality. I paint problems of the world.” Purvis Young, outsider artist and longtime resident of Miami’s Overtown district, has seen his share. Once a thriving middle-class black community, now known locally as the “Bucket of Blood,” Young’s neighborhood and the subjects he paints provide a vital portrait of a world in tumult. Incarcerated at a young age, Young taught himself to paint in jail. He is now considered among America’s most prominent folk artists. Over Otis Taylor’s powerful blues soundtrack, dealers, curators and collectors discuss Young’s impact on the art world, while his neighbors share stories about the artist they have known for decades as a bicycleriding beacon of hope. As one old-timer puts it, “Purvis is Overtown.”—D. Conroy PRECEDED BY

TRIBUTE TO HELEN MIRREN • After her stunning television performance last year as Elizabeth I, the masterful Helen Mirren returns to reclaim the crown as a very different Queen Elizabeth, England’s present monarch. Director Stephen Frears (My Beautiful Laundrette; Mrs. Henderson Presents, MVFF 2005) focuses on the events of the week following Princess Diana’s death, and the effect of those events on the country, the queen and the people. Tony Blair (brilliantly played by Michael Sheen) had just been elected prime minister, and tension was already mounting. When the monarchy remained silent on the subject of Diana, the public became outraged; they loved Diana. Behind the scenes, Blair successfully negotiated a change in position. While details of the queen’s private life are exposed, the ﬁlm never sensationalizes as it reveals a real sense of the isolation royalty maintains. Frears has created a fascinating drama with just the right amount of humor and a terriﬁc supporting cast.—G. Meyer For Tribute event information, see page 41.

In French with English subtitles • Noah’s ark was no picnic, or so claims this delightful ﬁlm that dares to ask the silly-serious question: If a boat full of animals and humans really were stuck at sea after the end of the world, how long would it be until the animals took over and the lion ate the lamb? Raining Cats and Frogs crackles with the most wonderful things about animation: Simple line drawings are colored in and glow from within, and talking frogs and arguing elephants address important questions like, How do you live among and get along with different creatures during a scary time? This quirky ﬁlm has what US animation frequently forgets, that there’s beauty in the lines and that true humor and feeling appeal to all ages. All Ages.—J. Campbell children’s filmfest

A tale of intrigue, scandal, love and redemption set in a small neighborhood Berkeley bookstore. When a mysterious stranger drops off a book with mystical powers, he sets off a chain of events that alter the lives of the store’s colorful crew of patrons and employees. Following these deeply etched characters through 24 hours of an extraordinary day, we see that mistakes and heartbreaks from the past never really fade. Rather than wallow in regret and anger, however, these lovable characters learn to redeem themselves through their present actions—with a little help from their friends.

A motley crew of characters working for a multinational arms supplier, Palisade Defence, are sent off for a teambuilding weekend to a luxury lodge . . . in the deepest, darkest depths of Hungary. “Another bloody office outing” becomes, well, just that, as things begin to go oddly awry after the team is stranded in a creepy forest and must leg it to the lodge. Far from the anticipated luxury accommodations, they find a shabby building with dusty files on Serbian lowlifes in the basement. What follows includes encounters with a spider, a bear trap, a rocket launcher and an increasing number of weapon-bearing men in ski masks, hell-bent on creating mayhem. With impeccable timing and astute use of music, Severance is a gleefully gruesome tour-de-force. Alternately audacious and outrageous, director Christopher Smith creates a roller-coaster-like balance between grisly gore and deliciously dark humor. Imagine the cast of The Office in a slasher pic, and you’ll get the idea. It’s brilliantly entertaining.—Z. Elton

In English and Spanish with English subtitles • A green-card soldier and one of 32,000 foreign-born US military personnel shipped to the war with Iraq, José Antonio Gutierrez had a dubious distinction: He was the war’s first casualty. Filmmaker Heidi Specogna commemorates a young man who triumphed over adversity to dream big dreams, in this memorial that lingers long after the credits roll, and shatters the government’s characterization of an illegal immigrant who wanted nothing more than to serve as a US Marine. Gutierrez grew up as a street-smart, glue-sniffing kid on the mean streets of Guatemala City, abandoned by his mother after the family fled the CIA-backed forces that killed 200,000 indigenous Guatemalans. A remarkable individual is revealed through interviews with orphanage staff, social workers, friends and fellow soldiers. He was born in one war and killed in another, yet his spirit flourished. One green-card soldier who is nameless no more.—G. Cahill

FOCUS: FILM ARTS FOUNDATION • The astonishing power of words is the subject of this engaging documentary. The poem “Youth” was written in 1917 by 77-year-old Samuel Ullman, a Jewish immigrant to the US. Twenty years after its author’s death “Youth” came into the possession of General Douglas MacArthur, whose framed display of it deeply impressed Japanese visitors to MacArthur’s Tokyo ofﬁce at the close of World War II. Subsequently spread across that then-broken nation, the poem inspired a generation thirsty for hope.

In Czech with English subtitles • Beautifully shot and performed, Bohdan Sláma’s marvelous, sprawling and grimly comic drama tells the story of three childhood friends coming of age in post-industrial northern Bohemia. Monika waves a tearful airport goodbye to her boyfriend heading to America, while the couple’s friend, Tonik—the boy who really loves her—stands by her side. Not quite a slacker but hardly a trailblazer, Tonik rises to the occasion, given the chance, while Monika, waiting to hear from America, is confronted with the challenge of caring for a family in distress. Against a backdrop of smoke-spewing factories and rusted industrial detritus, director Sláma’s natural storytelling keenly depticts the choices that improve or undermine his characters’ lives. Top winner at San Sebastian Film Festival, Something Like Happiness is a grave but tender look at life’s choices and ambiguities. And yet, in the end, settling for “something like” doesn’t seem so bad; it seems like life.—A. Lazenby

Tokyo businessman Yuichi Arisu (Koichi Sato) takes imaginative refuge from the everyday in writer Jo Kuroda’s mystery novels, set in an alternate universe known as the Darkland. One evening Arisu returns home from work to find his wife has disappeared—a plot element straight out of one of Kuroda’s books. Searching for his wife, Arisu’s strange interactions with a man in a rabbit costume and his affair with a beautiful woman who will meet him only at the neon-noir Starfish Hotel further blur the lines between— well, who’s to say what’s real anymore?

In French and English with English subtitles • A day trip with her grandchildren takes a psychological turn when retired schoolteacher Danielle refuses to return the kids to their parents. What begins as a grand adventure for the children, however, becomes alarming as their grandmother’s behavior grows increasingly erratic. Olivier Peyon’s delicate, character-driven debut feature ﬁlm impressively examines the isolation and alienation of older people who have been made to feel redundant. Veteran actress Bernadette Lafont, who began her career as a teenager at the dawn of the French New Wave in Truffaut’s 1957 short Les Mistons, delivers an intelligent, subtle performance as a woman whose placid demeanor hides a rising desperation. This is a deeply human drama; the relationship between grandmother and pre-teen grandaughter is heartbreakingly loving beneath its complexities, and the beautiful, aging Danielle has a transcendent moment of romance in a tender sequence that reunites the actress with long-ago co-star Claude Brasseur.—P.

In Mandarin, German and Korean with English subtitles • This poetic, sexually charged story from director Lou Ye (Suzhou River, Purple Butterfly) portrays star-crossed lovers in contemporary China. Hao Lei is 17-year-old Yu Hong, a small-town shopkeeper’s daughter who has her first sexual encounter the night before leaving for Beijing University. In Beijing, she begins a mad affair with Zhou Wei (Guo Xiaodong), a fellow student. Against the backdrop of the student-led pro-democracy movement of the 1980s, initially exhilarating but increasingly tense and leading up to the bloody clash with authorities at Tiananmen Square and its crushing aftermath, the lovers’ relationship itself escalates from romantic euphoria to dangerous complexity. Lou has given Summer Palace a Western-style pop soundtrack and provided the film with mainland China’s first cinematic scene of full-frontal nudity, the latter action leading many to speculate that the very political repression the film depicts may lead to its being censored at home.—G.

This captivating chronicle by Tom Weidlinger (A Dream in Hanoi, MVFF 2002) highlights the extraordinary efforts of folks working to improve the places where they live. By the 1960s, mills, mines and electric plants had transformed New York’s Hudson River into a toxic stew. Today, the Hudson is better, but far from clean: Eating the river’s ﬁsh might kill you, and no one in his right mind would swim in it. Which, in 2004, is precisely what Chris Swain did: He swam the entire 315-mile river, from source to sea. Why, for god’s sake?

In Kaado and Bambara with English subtitles • In association with California Newsreel, this special screening is a rare chance to see this west African classic set among the 18th-century Dogon in Mali. Adama Drabo’s beautifully shot ﬁlm is a gender-bending farce in which the local women turn the tables on their menfolk. After a spat with her husband about gathering ﬁrewood, the exasperated Yayémé heads off into the brush, despite legends about spirits that lurk around after dark. There, she encounters and overwhelms what she takes to be a bush spirit, making off with its imposing mask. This leads to an inspired prank. Yayémé dons the powerful mask and proclaims a new social order: From now on, men and women will trade places. What follows is hilarious, as the terrorized men haul water, cook, clean and exhaustedly feign sleep at day’s end to stave off their wives’ sexual advances.

Heiress Harriet Pullman Carolan began to build the 98-room Chateau Carolands in exclusive Hillsborough, California, in 1915. She meant it to be a monument to taste and elegance, but when her marriage fell apart, Carolan abandoned the yet-unfinished building. Nearly 30 years later, Countess Lillian Remillard Dandini, titled by marriage to an impoverished playboy count, bought and brought the decaying Carolands back to life, until she exhausted her wealth and died, leaving it unoccupied again. For 20 more years, the place was ravaged by earthquakes, trespassers and unscrupulous caretakers, was despised by neighbors and nearly demolished numerous times. Then, once more, this charmed remnant of privilege was rescued and restored to its original glory. Interspersed with engaging, informative interviews and excellent archival images, Three Women and a Chateau is the fabulous tale of the life and times of a mansion.—R. McNair

Neurotics are not new to the beloved cinematic milieu of Manhattan’s tony, tree-lined Upper East Side, but Oren Rudavsky’s fast-paced romantic drama The Treatment, based on the novel by Daniel Menaker, deftly expands the genre to include the psychotherapist from hell. Jake Singer (Chris Eigeman) is a slightly rumpled, cynical private school English teacher pushing 40. Resigned to a life of compromise and mediocrity, Singer stumbles through life, turning for emotional guidance to Argentine Catholic Freudian Dr. Ernesto Morales (Ian Holm). Morales’ method of treatment, however, is so unconventional as to verge on the maniacal. When Singer meets sexy socialite widow Allegra Marshall (Famke Janssen), his life begins to change dramatically. But can he dislodge the crazed shrink from his psyche?

In 1984 Deborah Sykes, a white copy editor for a Winston-Salem newspaper, was raped and murdered two blocks from her ofﬁce. With no physical evidence and relying almost entirely on eyewitness testimony from witnesses that included a career criminal and a Klansman, the all-white jury unanimously convicted Darryl Hunt, a 19-year-old black man, and sentenced him to life in prison. The Trials of Darryl Hunt was shot over a period of more than 10 years and uses personal accounts and exclusive footage to describe Hunt’s unyielding 20-year quest for vindication by the North Carolina legal system.

In a youth-obsessed culture, a ﬁlm about aging actors, with actors acting their actual old age, might seem a deadly premise. But when it stars Peter O’Toole and Vanessa Redgrave and is written by Hanif Kureishi (My Son the Fanatic, MVFF 1998), the ante is up. Way up. O’Toole plays Maurice Russell, a well-regarded actor still getting roles, even if it is the occasional corpse. When Jessie, the grandniece of his equally aged acting pal Ian, arrives to stay with her uncle, Maurice is completely smitten by her beauty and impetuous youthful energy. A man whose ﬁrst priority has always been the pursuit of pleasure, Maurice develops a uniquely tender, subtly sensual intergenerational rapport with Jessie, learning much about himself in the process.

It’s a snappy idea: Young filmmaker walks 1,200 miles from Seattle to Los Angeles to meet Werner Herzog, hoping this extravagantly foolhardy gesture, which emulates a walk Herzog once made between Munich and Paris, will earn said young filmmaker an audience with the man himself. No matter that Herzog says he won’t be home and thinks, anyway, that the film would be “purer” without him.

Shocked by her precocious son’s bold gesture, Rosalie begins to come to terms with her fractured family and to imagine a love life that makes room for her eccentric son. Produced for Dutch television, Wanted: Man looks like nothing on American network TV: Prolonged periods of melancholic silence are punctuated by bursts of serene tenderness and rambunctious joy. Director Patrice Toye uses grainy Super8mm footage to underscore significant moments in this extraordinary mother and son relationship, two people trying to come up for air after foundering in a sea of sadness.—A. Lazenby

valley of the docs

In English and Tibetan with English subtitles • This quietly provocative, deeply moving documentary relates the story of the woman who gave birth to His Holiness the Dalai Lama to illuminate the idea that a loving, compassionate and fierce feminine aspect lives within each of us. Through interviews, commentary, rare footage and photographs, director Rosemary Rawcliffe tells the story of Gyalyum Chemo, known as the Great Mother, who gave birth to 16 children, led her family to safety during the Communist Chinese invasion and inspired one of today’s most important spiritual leaders. His Holiness, family members and friends, including Jetsun Pema, Diki Surkhang and Angeles Arrien, speak about the often invisible yet ever-powerful impact of a mother’s love, revealing the importance of the Great Mother archetype and its relevance today. As the Dalai Lama says in the film: “A mother is the most important part of building a healthy family—and that means a healthy humanity.”—N. Isaacs Discussion with special guests from the film follows screenings.

From the moment Zia (Patrick Fugit, Almost Famous) takes his own life and enters an afterlife reserved for suicides, Wristcutters: A Love Story becomes an uplifting, darkly comic tale about journeying through the hereafter. This familiar yet slightly askew reality offers an existence of menial jobs, dingy bars and jukeboxes that play only suicide heroes like Kurt Cobain and Nick Drake. Soon after his arrival, Zia hooks up with two unlikely companions—Eugene, an inscrutable Russian musician, and Mikal, an eccentric ingenue. These three lost souls form an uncommon bond as they set out across the afterlife in search of what they could not ﬁnd in their lives, including Zia’s ex-girlfriend and fellow suicide, who has joined “the hari-kari club.” Sharp humor, clever plot twists and a multitude of quirky characters (including an unforgettable performance by musician Tom Waits) make Wristcutters one of the best indie ﬁlms of the year.—K. Clement

An ace in the high-powered world of London international banking, Max Skinner lives a life of greed, deals and money. But when he learns his beloved Uncle Henry has died, Max is forced to stand still for a moment. Henry has left Max his vineyard in Provence, France. Upon arrival, Max hopes for a quick resolution and, possibly, a nice proﬁt. Yet his uncle’s carefree legacy has seeped into the soil of this enchanting estate of which Max has so many memories, kept until now at a safe distance. He is faced head-on with Henry’s stubborn winemaker, a beautiful French restaurateur and a plucky young American who claims to be Henry’s long-lost daughter. Uncle Henry said that a good wine is incapable of lying; amid the vines, Max unwittingly searches for a truth that creeps upon him like the warmth of a rosé embracing you in the afternoon sun.
