Reeling from the tragic, sudden death of his wife, a man travels to rural Maine to seek answers from his estranged mother-in-law, who is herself confronting guilt and grief over her daughter's death.

Golden Globe nominee David Oyelowo (Selma) and Academy Award winner Dianne Wiest (Bullets Over Broadway) star in this intimate drama about a grieving widower who sets out to fulfill his wife’s last wish that he finally meet her irascible mother.

Five Nights is Curran's feature debut, yet it possesses a rare understanding of the power of a single gesture or image: the placing of a lipstick-smeared mug on a high shelf, or a stooped silhouette on a frosted shower door. This is a quiet film about volcanic emotions.
