Big Stone Gap

2014 Comedy

Ave Maria Mulligan (Judd) lives a quiet, unassuming life in 1978 Big Stone Gap, Virginia. After years of trying and failing at love, Ave Maria resigns herself to spinsterhood and an ordinary life working at the town's pharmacy with Fleeta Mullins (Goldberg). When her mother dies, old family secrets come to light and Ave Maria is bequeathed a photo of her biological father. Resolved to find this man, she abruptly steers her once-simple life in another direction as she looks for answers to some long-burning questions.
