Ramona at Midlife

Ramona Lee used to be a bestselling author. Now in her 40s, Ramona is a single mother working at a vet clinic and raising her daughter, Kiki. But when Ramona’s estranged husband informs her that a hot filmmaker’s new project seems ripped from her life, old wounds re-open and she needs to confront her mistakes. Ramona needs to reclaim her own story. Determined to face what ails her, she mends old friendships and even starts dating again, all the while writing letters to her artistic idol, Patti Smith, asking how Smith survived domestic life and re-entered the world as an artist. The movie asks why a woman’s story is only marketable when told by a man, and how women can reclaim their creativity in midlife.
