From Rockport to the Renaissance

In the serene coastal town of Rockport, Connecticut,

a family dinner unravels long-simmering tensions between pragmatic older sister Alison, rebellious artist Tina, and their parents, Richard and Margaret.

As the sisters clash over life’s diverging paths —stability versus freedom— Richard’s sudden heart attack shatters their world, forcing them to confront the fragility of their bonds and the shadows of choices that haunt their futures.

Devastated by her father’s death, Alison flees to Florence, Italy, seeking solace in the cradle of the Renaissance. There, she immerses herself in a film project that mirrors her own quest for

rebirth, navigating a web of ambition, romance, and betrayal amid auditions, love triangles, and unexpected alliances.

As she grapples with grief, pregnancy, and the pull of new beginnings, Alison discovers that true renaissance demands embracing the risks that once terrified her.

From Rockport to the Renaissance is a heartfelt saga of loss, forgiveness, and self-discovery, where one family’s tragedy

sparks a journey across oceans, blending the quiet shores of home with the timeless allure of art and second chances.
