So Hard to Forget

An evocative and unsentimental study on the difficulty of overcoming the loss of a loved one. Three thirty-somethings with different strategies regarding how to mend a broken heart move in together in an old house by the sea. In the centre is Julia, a harsh and brilliant English literature professor who has recently been left by Antonia. Soon, she'll be wooed both by the young student Carmen and the mature, beautiful painter Helena. What is the opposite of love? According to Julia, it is not hatred but a different sort of condition that she fears only Antonia can get her out of. Is help to be found elsewhere – from friends and lovers, Virginia Woolf or Emily Brontë? ob
