SETTING UP THE SCENE:
It is Thanksgiving weekend in 1973. A late-autumn storm has disrupted the lives of two families in the tony community of New Canaan, Connecticut and forced them to confront the tensions and resentments swirling behind the walls of their beautiful homes. Ben Hood (Kevin Kline) and wife Elena (Joan Allen) sit down for a meal with their kids Wendy (Christina Ricci) and Paul (Tobey Maguire).
