Newport Beach Film Festival 2009

Returning home to a small town in Montana for her high school reunion, Kim Reed hopes for reconciliation with her long-estranged adopted brother. But along the way stunning revelations are uncovered, including a blood relationship with Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth, intense sibling rivalries, and unforeseeable twists of plot and gender. Reed's rare access delicately reveals not only the family's most private moments, but also an epic scope as the film travels from Montana to Croatia, from jail cell to football field, from deaths to births. Questions of sexual orientation, identity, severe trauma and family love are effortlessly explored as the subjects freely open up their lives to the camera.
