South Mountain 2019

     Lila lives in a New York’s Catskill mountain home she shares with her husband of 20 years Edgar and their two teen daughters.  Lila is an art teacher at a community college.  After the girls leave for summer adventures, Edgar tells Lila that he has an infant son with another woman?  Lila didn’t have a clue that any of this was going on??  Lila is mourning a loss, feeling grief and anger.  What will she tell their daughters when they come back home?

 
     The scenery of this area is very beautiful.  Lila raises her own fruit and vegetables during the summer months.  It’s a home base for her children when they are away at school and traveling during the summer.  What is happening to family is an unexpected complication for everyone involved.  3* (I liked this movie)
