Synopsis
A family struggles to come to terms with changes after a death in the family in this independent drama. Jim Winters (
Anthony LaPaglia
) is a widower living in suburban New Jersey with his two teenage sons, Gabe (
Aaron Stanford
) and Pete (Mark Webber). Pete, the younger of the siblings, has a hearing problem that has made school difficult for him; consequently, he has lost interest in his education and spends most of his time goofing off. Gabe is smarter and more ambitious, and has a stable relationship with his girlfriend, Stacey (
Michelle Monaghan
), but is beginning to chafe at the limitations of small-town life. And five years after his wife's death, Jim still hasn't been able to pick up and start his life over again. When Gabe announces he's decided to move to Florida, it has differing effects on those around him -- Stacey, hurt and confused, begins to withdraw; Pete strikes up a friendship with one of his teachers (
Ron Livingston
); and Jim struggles to work up the nerve to talk to his new neighbor, Molly Ripkin (
Allison Janney
. Winter Solstice was the first feature film from writer and director Josh Sternfeld; it won enthusiastic notices following its screenings at the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
