Treading Water DVD $24.95
Casey is a longshorewoman who seems to have everything she wants; she lives on
a boat with her beautiful social worker girlfriend Alex, and they are very
much in love. But there's nothing like the holidays to bring out the drama of
the average family. Casey has rejected her privileged upbringing and restores
old boats for a living just across the bay from her upper crust New England
family. The proximity seems no accident: Casey can't quite let go, despite her
family's judgmental and inescapable hold on her otherwise independent and
unconventional life. When the family reunites for Christmas, the unwrapping of
presents takes a back seat to the unraveling of emotions.
Beautifully filmed on the New England coast, Director Lauren Himmel uses great
care in avoiding stereotypes and clichés to fashion a tender, subtle, tense
and sometimes funny look at repression and the idea of family.
