Far from Heaven / Focus Features and Vulcan Productions present ; a Killer Films/John Wells/Section Eight production ; produced by Jody Patton ; produced by Christine Vachon ; written and directed by Todd Haynes.
Cathy is the perfect 50s housewife, living the perfect 50s life: healthy kids, successful husband, social prominence. Then one night she surprises her husband Frank having sex with another man, and her tidy world starts spinning out of control. In her confusion and grief, she finds consolation in the friendship of their African-American gardener, Raymond--a socially taboo relationship that leads to the further disintegration of life as she knew it.
