Steam

Three vastly different women share a steam room at the local gym hoping their troubles will melt away, not realising it's both the company and the steam that helps free them. Elizabeth (the beautiful Kate Siegel) is a sheltered college student with domineering parents who wrestles with coming out as she falls in love with a woman for the first time. Laurie (brilliant Ally Sheedy) struggles to be a good mother when her aggressive ex-husband seeks custody of their son because she begins a relationship with a much younger man. And finally Doris (the excellent Ruby Dee) is a recent widow who finds it hard to come to terms with her loss until a new man in her life teaches her how to love again. A beautifully interwoven story of love and personal awakening.
