Anywhere but here
Everyday Drama

A realistic story about lone-mother's and daughter's relationship and life.

Ann is teenager, who just about to start life of her own. Her mother Adele is a middle aged divorced woman.  

Adele has some difficulties with her mentals, just like many women at her age and situation has. Whilst Ann lives feet tightly on the ground, her mother Adele is a dreamer, who flies and lives in the air.

Ann and Adele live in small town, up in the north. After Adele is invited to promising job interview in Los Angeles, she decides, that they will move to L.A. The trip is done with an expensive car classic. On the way to L.A., the couple talks and fights, just like parents and children often do.

In L.A. Adele has difficulties in getting a home, which fits into their budget. During the search Adele makes friends with Real Estate Agent.

The job interview goes just fine, and Adele gets a job from the school. 

Adele has a difficult romance with a rich L.A. dentist. A boy from school gets a crush on Ann. Ann is not very interested, but she doesn't turn him down either.

After few years in L.A. it is time for Ann to leave home and start a life her own.

The movie is told to you by the means of Everyday Drama. Quite near Romance.

Good choice for female audiences at all ages. Don't have to be a friend of romantic stories. General interest in life related social things is enough. Lots of all kinds of activities, and realistic scenes from human life.


Ann and Adele spending time outdoors.

Where the heart is was filmed in Los Angeles in late summer 1998.
