Three women, separated by a span of nearly 80 years, find themselves weathering similar crises, all linked by a single work of literature in this film adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Michael Cunningham. In 1923, Virginia Woolf is attempting to start work on her novel, Mrs. Dalloway. In 1951, Laura Brown is reading Mrs. Dalloway and discovers that it reflects the dissatisfaction she feels in her own life. In 2000, Clarissa Vaughn is caring for a former boyfriend and noted author, who is slowly losing his fight with AIDS.
