Synopsis

Oscar-winning examination of a mother-daughter relationship spanning 30 years. The story focuses on the tempestuous relationship between Aurora Greenway and her rebellious but devoted daughter, Emma. Against her mother's wishes, Emma marries a college professor with limited potential and then adds insult to injury by making the age-conscious Aurora a grandmother three times over.
