Logline:
Five Black women tell the story of the social club they formed twenty-five years earlier. One by one, they each lend a piece of the jigsaw puzzle known as progress.
Synopsis:
In Brooklyn 1957, in the heat of the Civil Rights Movement, five Black women form The Silhouettes, a social club that comes to stand for the hopes and horrors of the next twenty-five years.
With the decline of the inner city, one member’s act brings the club closer than ever. But with careers and prosperity, the girls drift away from each other. With domestic competition, love and marriage fray at the edges. And with the college educated children now grown, the mothers realize they don’t know most of them.
When one member’s son dies, the Silhouettes are driven to rediscover each other.
