Virginia Woolf (Nicole Kidman), in a suburb of London in the early 1920’s, is battling insanity as she begins to write her great novel Mrs Dalloway. A wife and mother in post-World War II Los Angeles, Laura Brown (Julianne Moore), is reading Mrs Dalloway and finding it so revelatory that she begins to consider making a devastating change in her life. Clarissa Vaughn (Meryl Streep), a present-day version of Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway lives in New York City and is in love with a friend (Ed Harris) who is dying of AIDS–their engaging stories intertwine until they come together in a surprising moment of shared recognition.
