Story Synopsis:
A group of emotionally fragile people meet one September in a cozy home in Vermont to reminisce and complain and whine about their stations in life. Making matters worse is that everyone seems to be feeling the pangs of love, but everyone is feeling it about somebody else. (Laurie Sevano)

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits colors that are quite natural and well balanced, with fleshtones that appear accurate, but blacks seem a bit weak at times. Images are generally sharp, with good detail. While contrast appears natural, visual information tends to get lost in the darkest scenes. There is a slight amount of edge enhancement detected. While some scenes appear clean and solid, the source element is revealing of film grain and artifacts. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby
