English Summary:

The film alternates between two time periods, the 1950s and the present, in which a dying Ann Grant Lord (Vanessa Redgrave) reflects on her past. Her confusing comments about people she never mentioned before leave her daughters, reserved Constance (Natasha Richardson) and restless Nina (Toni Collette), wondering if their mother is delusional.

As a young woman in her early twenties, cabaret singer Ann (Claire Danes) arrives at the spacious Newport, Rhode Island, home of her best friend Lila Wittenborn (Mamie Gummer), who is soon to marry Karl Ross (Timothy Kiefer). Lila's brother (and Ann's college friend) Buddy (Hugh Dancy) introduces her to Harris Arden (Patrick Wilson), a young doctor and the son of a former family servant. Buddy tells Ann his sister has always adored Harris, and expresses his concern that she's marrying another man out of a sense of duty rather than love. Inebriated, Buddy passes out, and as Ann and Harris chat they find themselves bonding.

On Lila's wedding day, she confesses to Ann that she confronted Harris with her feelings for him and he rebuffed her, so she goes along with the ceremony as planned and marries Karl. At the reception, at Lila's request, Ann sings a song and is joined on stage by Harris. Afterwards Buddy, drunk again, confronts the two about their growing closeness. Then he unexpectedly kisses Harris. As Lila prepares to depart with her new husband, Ann offers to take the bride away with her, but Lila refuses and leaves for her honeymoon.

Hungarian Summary:

A rátörő emlékeknek engedve Ann Lord megoszt egy régóta őrzött titkot a lányaival, Constance-szal, aki boldog házasságban él, és Ninával, a nyughatatlan egyedülálló nővel. Mindketten ágya mellett állnak, mikor Ann kijelenti, hogy látni szeretné élete szerelmét. De vajon ki lehet ez a titokzatos "Harris", s mit jelenthetett az anyjuknak? Miközben Constance és Nina megpróbálja megfejteni édesanyjuk életét, és egyúttal rendbe szedni sajátjukat, Ann felidéz magában egy jó 50 évvel ezelőtti hétvégét, amikor még Ann Grantnek hívták... és csak egy fiatal lány volt, aki azért jött New Yorkból, hogy legjobb barátnője, Lila Wittenborn esküvőjén legyen nyoszolyólány. A menyasszony izgatott, de édesanyja helyett legjobb barátnőjéhez fordul segítségért. Ann Lila közelében marad, de még közelebb kerül a menyasszony forrófejű öccséhez, Buddyhoz. Ám amikor az esküvőn feltűnik Harris Arden, a Wittenborn-család régi barátja, Annben új érzések ébredeznek. Olyanok, melyek örökre megváltoztatják az ő és lányai életét is...
