Room

Julia is the breadwinner and axis to a family of dependents whose needs drown her own personal desires in an exhausting daily struggle to make ends meet: paying the bills, delivering telephone books, chauffeuring her family, struggling to raise her daughters. Sales are down, paychecks are late, grocery shopping is a dismal choice between tuna-in-oil and tuna-in-water; and smack in the middle of it all, a wave of excruciating migraine headaches.
Inside her splitting mind, disturbing visions erupt: broken transmissions of rippling water, wooden rafters, and blasted white windows of a cavernous warehouse sized room, a space at once menacing and mysterious. The visions intensify, as Julia experiences blackouts while shopping, working, driving... until she can no longer ignore the signs. Making a series of desperate choices, she robs her employer, abandons her family, grabs a plane and arrives completely unprepared on the streets of New York City. Alone, in a fleabag hotel in Queens, she stands naked before her image in a mirror... then shuts off the lights. Her pilgrimage has begun. (texte officiel du distributeur)
