SYNOPSIS
16-year-old STEPHANIE DALEY (Amber Tamblyn) is
hospitalized unexpectedly during a school fieldtrip while, in a nearby
public restroom, a dead newborn is discovered. Faced with charges of
murder, Stephanie claims she never knew she was pregnant and that the
child was stillborn. Forensic psychologist Lydie Crane (Tilda Swinton)
is hired to determine the truth behind Stephanie’s continuing state of
denial. Coincidentally, Lydie is herself pregnant and struggles with an
impending fear that her marriage and her pregnancy is in jeopardy. Her
intuition intensifies with each session with Stephanie and she soon
believes that unraveling the teenager’s mystery is somehow crucial to
her own fate.
Featuring gripping performances by Tilda Swinton and Academy
Award-winner Timothy Hutton, STEPHANIE DALEY is anchored by a brave
powerhouse performance by Amber Tamblyn. Writer/director Hilary's
Brougher's evocative film, winner of Best Screenplay at Sundance Film
Festival, weaves two parallel journeys into a sublime masterpiece about
the absolute nature of truth.
