| Summary: | Elsey's role as painter, mother and wife have lead her to descend into desperate unhappiness. Her husband Lukas urges her to find herself in a weeklong mountain retreat. There she meets a group of men and women who will forever alter the way she understands herself. When Elsey's husband, Lukas, hands her a brochure for a weeklong mountain retreat, he is really giving her an ultimatum: Go, or we're done. Once a successful painter, Elsey set down roots in China after falling for Lukas, the tall, Danish MC at a warehouse rave in downtown Beijing. Now, with two young daughters and unable to find a balance between her identities as painter, mother, and wife, Elsey fills her days worrying, drinking, and descending into desperate unhappiness. At the retreat she meets men and women who will forever alter the way she understands herself. -- adapted from jacket |
