In his feature writing/directing debut, award-winning filmmaker Dennis Lee guides a stellar ensemble in this haunting family drama of recrimination and reconciliation in FIREFLIES IN THE GARDEN. Oscar-winner Julia Roberts is at the center of the story playing a beleaguered family matriarch who has subordinated her needs and desires to those of her family, particularly her cold, demanding husband (Oscar-nominee Willem Dafoe). Roberts’ sudden death brings her entire clan together and triggers a series of flashbacks that reveal how the today’s seeds of discontent were planted years earlier. Starring Julia Roberts, Ryan Reynolds, Willem Dafoe, Emily Watson, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hayden Panettiere, and Ioan Gruffud, FIREFLIES IN THE GARDEN juxtapositions the past and present in a fluid, lyrical, and emotionally resonant manner to show us that, while family is hard to live with, it is impossible to live without.
