In his latest film, Ethan Hawke directs his daughter Maya in a probing portrait of the celebrated southern gothic writer Flannery O’Connor. Flannery (Maya Hawke) visits her mother (Laura Linney) in Georgia when she is diagnosed with lupus at twenty-four years old. Desperate to make her mark as a great writer, Flannery enters a crisis that will pitch her mind into a feverish exploration of belief, causing the lines between reality, imagination, and faith to blur.
