This comedic drama imaginatively explores the hilarity, confusion, and surprises of love through the evolving consciousness of Oliver (Ewan McGregor), when he meets and falls in love with the irreverent and unpredictable Anna (Mélanie Laurent of Inglourious Basterds). This new love floods Oliver with memories of his recently deceased father, Hal (Christopher Plummer). Following the death of his wife of 45 years, Hal came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life, which included a younger boyfriend, Andy. Hal lives his final months with a funny and moving honesty, forming a strong bond with his son at last. Inspired by these memories, Oliver, previously unable to make romantic commitments, endeavors to love Anna with all the bravery, humor, and hope that his father taught him.

This documentary tells the story of Chely Wright’s calculated preparations in 2010 to release an album and a book (Like Me) that made country music history—she became the first country music star to reveal her homosexuality. Using interviews with her family, key players in Nashville, her management team, and her very intimate, private video diaries, the film goes deep into her back story of growing up in a homophobic community and culture, to her successful career that further paralyzed her with the fear of coming out. The film chronicles every step Chely takes into the national media glare with her announcement, and the aftermath in her hometown of Nashville and within the larger LGBT community. Wish Me Away reveals both the devastation of her own internalized homophobia and the transformational power of living an authentic life. [2011, USA, Runtime: 120 min, Not rated] (trailer)
