Movie Description
A MAP OF THE WORLD is a brilliant adaptation of the popular novel by Jane Hamilton, concerning the lives of several small-town Wisconsin inhabitants. When a child drowns in her care, school nurse Alice Goodwin (Sigourney Weaver) crumbles with guilt. The little girl's mother, Theresa Collins (Julianne Moore), is shattered by the news, ruining her friendship with Alice. Alice's situation takes an even grimmer turn when she is falsely accused by a student's mother (Chloe Sevigny) of abusing her child. She must serve jail time awaiting the trial and come to terms with personal issues that are threatening to destroy her--including admitting that she doesn't even like her own daughter.
