Two Altars and a Cave
Helena, an old soul and shaman in this oddball film, concocts an elaborate ritual to celebrate her friend Mattie's 50th birthday. In a cluttered house in Queens, New York, the women honor the past and look to the future with humor and invention. But things don't go as expected. Helena seems to have fully left the house behind. Abandoned, Mattie confronts her fears of aging and eventually embraces HelenaÂ’s positive and peaceful appreciation of the natural world and its orders.
