Synopsis – What to Expect from “Anywhere but Here”
Anywhere But Here is a 1999 American drama film directed by Wayne Wang and starring Susan Sarandon and Natalie Portman. It follows the story of Adele August (Sarandon), an eccentric, strong-willed single mother who moves with her teenage daughter, Ann (Portman), from a small town in Wisconsin to Beverly Hills, California.
Adele is a dreamer who wants to provide a better life for her daughter, despite the fact that she has no idea how to go about achieving it. She is determined to make a success of her new life in California, but Ann is much more hesitant about the move. She is uncomfortable with her mother’s overbearing attitude and finds it difficult to adjust to the new environment.
The film follows Adele and Ann as they try to make a life for themselves in Beverly Hills. Adele is determined to make a success of her new life, but her ambitions are often hampered by her lack of money and her impulsive decisions. Ann, meanwhile, struggles to adjust to the lifestyle of Beverly Hills and to her mother’s eccentricities.
As the film progresses, Adele and Ann’s relationship is tested as they both struggle to find their place in their new environment. Adele’s dream of achieving success in Beverly Hills is complicated by her financial difficulties and her inability to accept help from anyone. Meanwhile, Ann is forced to confront her feelings of insecurity and her fear of being abandoned by her mother.
