Opis

A woman stands on a windmill tower in Kansas, ready to jump. The woman is married, two kids. The farm is driving her crazy. She can escape by jumping or she can escape to the city. Olive needs to say goodbye to the kids. Saying goodbye, she changes her mind. She drops the kids with grandparents, steals her husband's car, and heads for Wichita. Three women guide Olive on her journey from farm girl to city woman: Janey, a waitress shows her the sexy, seamy side of night life. Eileen, a transgendered former basketball player teaches Olive how to dress. Rose, a psychiatrist opens Olive's dreams to read her hopes for a new start. Olive is America migrating from the country to the city. Olive is America re-inventing itself. Olive discovers the hard truth-the American dream doesn't end in happy ever after, it ends in loss, rebuilding, starting over with a new dream.
