Movie propaganda

Mothers. Daughters. The never-ending story of good vs evil.

This is the story of the relationship between a daughter, Siddalee (Sandra Bullock) and her mother, Vivi (Ellen Burstyn). Tired of her mother's eccentric behaviour a neurotic playwright moves to Seattle from Louisiana to be as far away from her as possible. Years later when she's planning her wedding she doesn't even invite her mother in fears that she will embarrass her. One day however she receives a box in the mail containing a diary and mementos of her mother's adventures (set mostly in the 1930s, these include the 1939 première of Gone with the wind in Atlanta and a Shirley Temple look-alike contest). With her three best friends, Caro, Necie and Teensy who form a "sisterhood" (the "Ya-Yas"). Divine Secrets is the name of the scrapbook Siddalee receives.
