Money and emotions lead to a difficult reunion between a father and daughter in this
drama.
Reese Holden (
Zooey Deschanel) is a struggling stage actress in New York City whose life has become an uphill struggle -- her career isn't giving her satisfaction, her relationship with would-be
rock star
Ray (
Dallas Roberts) is stuck in neutral, an affair with her friend
Rob (
Robert Beitzel) brings no excitement, and her colleague
Deirdre (
Deirdre O'Connell) simply doesn't understand her problems.
Reese is also short on money, which is why she's willing to listen to a proposal from a publisher who wants to release a series of love letters that her mother, a well-known author who died years ago, wrote to her father,
Don (
Ed Harris), another respected novelist who has fallen out of the limelight but is said to be working on a final major work. Having accepted an advance for the collection,
Reese pays a visit to
Don in Michigan to get his OK for the project and collect the letters, but discovers two strangers have moved in with
Don --
Shelly (
Amelia Warner), who studied under
Don and has installed herself as his business manager, and
Corbit (
Will Ferrell), a neighborhood sad sack who helps with the housekeeping and runs errands for the reclusive writer. As
Reese vies with
Shelly for her father's attention, she struggles to come to terms with issues from her childhood and the dissatisfaction with her life.
Winter Passing was written and directed by noted playwright
Adam Rapp; it was his first feature film.
