Synopsis
Lauduree (Haney-Jardine) is a 13-year-old loner passionate about nature and worried about global warming. A passionate environmentalist, she clings to her rural home and a carbon sequestration experiment. Greta (Amy Madigan), her grandmother, is a fiery nurse jaded by alcohol and disappointment. When Lauduree is abruptly abandoned by her dreamer single mom (Marin Ireland), she decides to take survival into her own hands, forcing her and Greta to rethink their futures. Thrust into each other’s lives, the two women must learn to trust each other and leap into the unknown. Featuring humorous, sharply drawn characters and powerful performances by Amy Madigan (Field of Dreams, Gone Baby Gone), Lili Taylor (Say Anything, Six Feet Under), and rising star Perla Haney-Jardine (Kill Bill Vol. 2, Spider-Man 3), Future Weather is about finding the courage to survive change.
