Personal Velocity (2002)

Unfolding the intricate tapestry of three women's lives, Personal Velocity (2002) captures a pivotal moment in their existence. At the heart of the story is Delia, a feisty, working-class woman hailing from a quaint New York town. She shatters the chains of her abusive marriage and embarks on an empowering odyssey to retrieve the strength she once lost. Parallel to this narrative, we discover Greta, a sharp-witted and assertive editor, brimming with ambition but tainted by her hostile disdain for her father's ways. Trapped in a mundane relationship, she grapples with loyalty towards her decent but uninspiring husband, albeit with an undercurrent of indifference. The triad is completed with Paula, a tormented soul burdened with an unwanted relationship and the consequences of a teenage rebellion. Her life takes an unexpected turn following a bizarre encounter on the buzzing streets of New York, propelling her on an impromptu journey with a hitchhiker. Personal Velocity (2002) is a poignant exploration of three lives at the precipice of change, each woman navigating the complex terrain of choice, consequence, and the power to redefine their destiny.
