Kepler's Dream

Eleven-year-old Ella (Isabella Blake-Thomas) is a city girl forced to spend the summer on the New Mexico ranch of her reclusive grandmother,Violet Von Stern (Holland Taylor),while Ella’s mom (Kelly Lynch) undergoes chemotherapy in another state. As she tries to cope with her grandmother’s strict rules and snooty friends,Ella longs for her mother and begs her estranged father for rescue.

My take

A tender coming-of-age story about a girl learning to find strength in unexpected places. When life forces Ella away from everything familiar, she discovers that home isn't always where you think it is—and that the people we resist often teach us the most.
