    Summary

    Carol Sturka is one of Hollywood's most respected directors - and one of its most emotionally guarded. When she finally gets the greenlight for the sapphic love story she's been circling for years, she makes an interesting choice: Carol casts Helen Umstead, award-winning actress and former almost-something, as her lead. Opposite her? Zosia Kamińska, an actress who looks at Carol like she's a puzzle worth solving and a door worth opening.
    The film is about two women who want what they cannot have.
    The production is about three women discovering what they want in the first place.
    Carol certainly didn't expect this much drama to happen off camera.

    Summary

    After the death of her wife, nihilistic and closeted romance author Carol Sturka descends into a stupor of drunken depression which is only compounded when her fanbase finds out she’s a lesbian and erupts in outrage and deems her disingenuous. Her publicist has the perfect solution to rebuild Carol's public image and free her from the "romance slop" genre forever, but Carol isn't going to like it.

    She's right. Carol hates it. (Until she doesn't.)

    Summary

    At thirty seven, Dr. Carol Sturka, living in Chicago, measures her life in clinical shifts; she is perpetually busy, constantly counting down the minutes until her workday ends. One night, she doesn’t expect her world to be upended by a twenty five year old brunette with raw knuckles, deep brown eyes, and a jagged gash sliced through her eyebrow. In the quiet of that night, something between them begins to grow.
