A Los Angeles architect, Nick Stark (Eric Roberts), is dying of AIDS. Just before Christmas, he is told that his disease has progressed and he may go quickly or linger in a coma. Not wanting to linger in a slow death, Nick has arranged for his friend, a health-care professional to help him die with dignity -- but not before he gathers everyone he loves for a two-day farewell party.
Nick's mother and sister, his friend, a former love and his estranged father all gather to see Nick for one last time. He draws his guests into a highly- charged atmosphere where opinions collide, secrets spill and old wounds heal as everyone struggles to accept Nick's fate--and their own. Although frustrated by his worsening condition, Nick knows the peace of being surrounded by everyone he loves. |

Rated: PG
They call themselves "lolo" -- lowly locals in Hawaiian slang -- and they've already learned a hard lesson: all they should look forward to in life is mediocrity and failure. These low-income, multi-ethnic teenagers don't expect anything from themselves, because nobody else does, until the day the new science teacher arrives at Kona Pali High. For some reason, Sandra Beecher is different from their other teachers -- she actually thinks they can and should, learn something in school.
With her encouragement, a handful of her least-likely students tackle a science project that would challenge even the best and the brightest: they decide to build and race a very special car. Powered by the sun - and by the newfound pride that burns in the Kona Pali High students' hearts -- the fragile vehicle will take them all the way across the Australian continent on a journey of wonder and self-discovery. |
