With his four earlier books out of print, he has learned to starve himself of the desire for the success he was once so close to, though beneath this practice lives a pull for his work to be rediscovered. His solitary writer's life is shaken by the arrival of Heather (Lauren Ambrose), an ambitious graduate student who persuades him that she can use her thesis to spur a rediscovery of his work. But as her inquiry proceeds, Heather displays a profound personal interest in Leonard, which unsettles him and stirs up his long-dormant need for intimacy. Meanwhile, Leonards daughter Ariel (Lili Taylor) reconnects with her ex-boyfriend Casey (Adrian Lester), a man Leonard firmly disapproves of. Leonards encounters with Heather lead him down an unfamiliar path that threatens his writing, his health, and his relationship to his daughter. But in living out in the open, in the evening of his life Schiller puts into practice the core theme of his novels -- life is not designed for our comfort but for our struggle, for in struggle there is growth. =0D=0A= RATED R =0D=0A= For more information on The Palm Beach International Film Festival see http://www.pbifilmfest.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20080124T220000Z DTEND:20080125T010000Z PRIORITY:0 CLASS:PUBLIC SUMMARY:The Blue Fish- Special Happy Hour TRANSP:0 UID:080118222589724586004764046362 LOCATION:The Blue Fish, 110 East Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Join LivingFLA.com & SouthFloridaSociety.com and Dive into The Blue Fish for a Special Happy Hour with Complimentary Sushi tastings and $1 sake specials, at Delray Beach's hottest new sushi restaurant, on Thursday, January 24th, from 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. The award-winning Blue Fish is located at 110 East Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach (in the former Sopra/Bice space).
