Shit Year
Synopsis
Renowned actress Colleen West abandons her successful career for a secluded life in the hills. But the peace and quiet she longed for is disrupted by the noisy construction of neighboring housing developments. Before long, Colleen discovers that she can’t stand herself now that she has given up the only thing she has ever truly been passionate about. As an alternative to isolation, she reluctantly befriends her jubilant, whimsical neighbor and reconnects with her estranged brother. Haunted by loneliness and past desires, Colleen begins to feel as if her life was lived through the characters she has played on stage and screen.
