讲述了一个想要离开故乡开始新生活而苦苦挣扎的男人在故乡与老朋友重逢，结果卷入始料未及的事件的喜剧片。

A brief trip back home turns into a longer stay when Eric finds himself caught between catching up with his two sisters and conquering his old poker group. The more Eric extends his visit to prove that he is still the best poker player in town, the harder it becomes to steer clear of the old fault lines in his relationship with his sister Rachel. As their little sister Maggie attempts to recreate the intimate world they once shared, Eric and Rachel are faced with the divide between their childhood selves and the adults they have now become.Displaying all the sensitivity and wicked humour of his previous works, Dustin Guy Defa’s new film is a shrewd study of the pitiless condition known as adulthood. After growing up in a family unit that constitutes your whole world, with its particular set of habits and a shared language, crossing the border into the realm of adults can feel disempowering, even terrifying. A sense of loss may be difficult to ever really overcome. The film’s meticulous structure and novelistic depth lay bare this fundamental fear, but also the resources that exist to fight it. Setting about this treasure hunt deep within as individuals and as a family is an admirable trio of actors whose interpretation is as nuanced as it is poignant.

《鹿女》编剧曹丽华，导演严定宪、林文肖，摄影蒋友毅，1993年12月美影摄制完成。影片是根据中国敦煌壁画第八十五窟中“鹿母夫人”的故事改编的。为了改好剧本，编剧曹丽华3次去甘肃省敦煌壁画旧址收集资料。《鹿女》的故事是这样的：传说莲花山麓有一位鹿女，遇到夏国猎队追赶，幸被炎王所救。炎王娶鹿女为妃，生下莲花被太后扔进河里，后莲花漂流夏国，从中跳出10个男孩被夏王收养。10个太子长大为养父攻打炎国，鹿女赶到感动夏、炎二王，化干戈为玉帛。影片保持了中国古代敦煌壁画的传统风格，又体现了现代人审美观的要求，画面优美，意境动人。该影片于1994年获第十四届中国电影“金鸡奖”最佳美术片奖。（）
