Product Description

This award winning drama is set at the height of 1950s glamour and recounts the sensual relationship between Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Elizabeth Bishop (played by Miranda Otto, Lord of the Rings) and Brazilian architect Lota de Macedo Soares (the beautifully handsome Brazilian TV star Gloria Pires). When Bishop leaves American in search for inspiration, she never bargained on meeting the love of her life.

At first, the two women quarrel about their differing world views, but animosity quickly turns to affection and their long-lasting love affair dramatically alters Bishop s relationship to the world around her. From Oscar nominated director, Bruno Barreto (Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands), Reaching for the Moon is an intimate portrait of two women finding the most incredible love.
