Synopsis/Details
The journey home does not need to be a long one. Some never quite make it. The past is an obstacle that forbids relief. The Pilgrimage is a story of healing within a family only for those seeking it. With a storyline so enchantingly southern as Driving Miss Daisy with characters as fragile as those in Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie, the children of Leena Adams relate to their mother with constraints from the past as she celebrates her sixtieth birthday. Her daughter Eva is bitter and broken. Her son Adlai is an actor living life with a bad script. Only Ethan can bring peace and reconciliation, if only he had the time.
