A delightful romantic comedy that takes a magical look at relationships of the heart. The setting is a small town in far northern Maine, on a Friday night in the middle of winter. Under a big, moonless northern sky, residents of the town of Almost, Maine, are falling in and out of love at an alarming rate. Knees are getting bruised; hearts are getting broken ... but the bruises heal and hearts mend - almost - in what has been described as "a charming midwinter night's dream." The story of a town and its people, Almost, Maine offers an evening of surprising revelations.
