About me:
Free to Fly, is a story about a young woman named Anna, who is a lost soul in a lost society. A drinking and driving accident leaves Anna with a slight limp and a big question about who she wants to be. Anna drops out of college and moves back into her Mothers house to take up a job pumping gas at the local gas station. The movie takes place in a rural New England town, where all eyes are watching Anna with disappointment and pity. Anna has a typical American family full of despair, blame and anger. Mary, Annas mother, is a waitress at the local Diner, trying to hold her family together. Annas Dad left them and doesnt keep in close contact. Her brother, James, is gone serving in the Army over in a war she doesnt believe in, and her younger sister is a typical angry teenager. Anna feels like a bird in a birdcage. All dreams and expectations feel as though dissipated when a chance meeting with Hank, an old man who wears his deceased wifes hats around town, causes her to look at things from a different angle. Their friendship provides a source of inspiration for themselves and for those around them. Hanks grandson, Ezra, from New York City moves out to live with him, to keep him out of trouble. Ezra and Anna would be great friends if only they would find one another. The many intricate personalities and humorous dialogue of the true New England characters weave together to make a beautiful tale about love, family, art, self discovery, and finding the freedom to fly.
