In her new film, actress Elizabeth Berry is to take on the role of a woman who was involved in a sex scandal: Gracie Atherton-Yoo outraged the whole of America when, as a married woman in her mid-thirties, she seduced the 13-year-old Joe. She ended up in prison for a short time, but her relationship with Joe continued. More than 20 years later, the two have three children together. Elizabeth is set to play the scandalous woman in a film and must now get to know Gracie and her surroundings in the name of research. With MAY DECEMBER, director Todd Haynes delivers an intriguing and bittersweet melodrama in which the two brilliantly performing Oscar winners Natalie Portman and Juliane Moore shine.
