Synopsis
Inventing the Abbotts
In the 1950s, brothers Jacey and Doug Holt, who come from the poorer side of their sleepy Midwestern town, vie for the affections of the wealthy, lovely Abbott sisters. Lady-killer Jacey alternates between Eleanor and Alice, wanting simply to break the hearts of rich young women. But sensitive Doug has a real romance with Pamela, which Jacey and the Abbott patriarch, Lloyd, both frown upon.
Minamahal
An introverted high school flower enthusiast tries to win the affection of a love-hating visual artist by giving her flowers during key moments of her life. The movie follows their on-and-off friendship and romance from high school up until college, when the realities of life begin to unfold.
