Elizabeth (Allison Janney), a young movie star is heading off to spend time with her family over Memorial Day in 1980s rural New England. She brings her partner, Peter (Christian Camargo) to meet her brother, Herb (William Hurt), her son, Eric (Ben Whishaw) and his girlfriend, Eva (Juliet Rylance, and the family doctor, Louis (Jean Reno). Throughout a whirlwind weekend, Stephen (Mark Rylance) tries to keep calm across the land where a majestic bald eagle is trying to raise its young, with the help of his wife, Alex (Katie Holmes). The dysfunctional family battle against each other as they struggle to find true happiness and unity before their personalities tear them apart for good.
The film serves as the directorial debut for writer/director Christian Camargo, best known for his appearances in 'Dexter' and 'Haven'. The film is an adaptation of the Anton Chekhov 1896 play, 'The Seagull', swapping the setting from Russia to America. The film has a large focus on environmental issues, and therefore had an honorary showing at the Denver Film Festival in November, 2013, as commemoration for the life of Russell Means, an activist who passed away the previous year. The film is set for release on the 26th September, 2014.
