Based on the book WHITE BIRD IN A BLIZZARD by
Laura Kasischke, Shailene Woodley plays Kat Connors, who is 17 years old when her perfect homemaker mother, Eve (Eva Green), a beautiful, enigmatic, and haunted woman, disappears - just as Kat is discovering and relishing her newfound sexuality. Having lived for so long in a stifled, emotionally repressed household, she barely registers her mother's absence and certainly doesn't blame her doormat of a father, Brock, (Christopher Meloni) for the loss. In fact, it's almost a relief. But as time passes, Kat begins to come to grips with how deeply Eve's disappearance has affected her. Returning home on a break from college, she finds herself confronted with the truth about her mother's departure, and her own denial about the events surrounding it...
"The book is divided into four distinct chapters chronicling the years between 1986 to 1989, for the film we've shifted a bit later to the late eighties/early nineties - a period that, culturally and especially musically, has always fascinated me," said the film's director Gregg Araki. "As anyone familiar with my movies knows, the music of that era which is used in the film - Depeche Mode, New Order, Cocteau Twins, etc. - that music was a huge influence and inspiration for me as a young artist, so the film pays homage to that."
