Maggie leads a merry dance as she both embraces and resists the process of letting go\, with a fierce determination to relish and share her beloved ‘Brooklyn’ to the very last drop. (She now presides over the Northern Arts guest house in Castlemaine\, which hosts a rich programme of music and film events).  ‘So few films try to capture everyday life\, and few succeed as this one has.
