Set to debut at the 2009 Berlin International Film Festival this February, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee offers glimpses into the 'lives' lead by one woman whose journey of self discovery is ignited when her world as she knows it starts to fall apart.
Pippa Lee is fifty, epitomises feminine serenity and lives a dream 'Stepford' wife life. She flourishes as proud mother of successful twins and as devoted wife to husband Herb, last of the great American publishers and her senior by 30 years. However, when Herb spontaneously declares 'a sort of pre-emptive strike against decrepitude', the couple abandon their New York life for a quiet retirement community.
We see her perfect life of a blissful Pippa Lee crumble when Herb has an affair with a woman even younger than she is. As she teeters on the edge of a breakdown we also see that she may in fact be having a breakthrough or break-out for her long-concealed self.
In truth, this gracious woman of the present day has seen more than her fair share of the wild side. The warmth, comfort and security of her family and the ethereal world in which she has surrounded herself can no longer shield her from the kaleidoscope of her troubled and coloured past.
