Nearing Grace is a 2005 film directed by Rick Rosenthal. The movie is rated R for sexual themes, language, and drug references. The official site at http://www.nearinggracemovie.com gives the description of the movie: The Nearing family's loss of its female leader. Rose, wife to Shep (Morse) and mom to Henry and Blair (David Moscow), died six months before. The time is the late '70s, when lifestyles and sexuality were undergoing tremendous change in American society. Rose's death removes the anchor to this suburban New Jersey family, letting each member drift into those swift-moving social currents.

Dad quits his teaching job, grows his hair long, rides his bike around town and drinks himself senseless most nights. Blair splits, taking off with a hippie girlfriend in search of acid and experiences, some of which he might even remember. Henry changes the least outwardly; but inside, his life is in free-fall.

Fans of the late, Everwood in which Gregory Smith starred, may recognize similarites between Nearing Grace and Everwood. Both involve the death of a mother figure and the collapse of the father figure, the ensuing events are what separates the two.

Nearing Grace is also in a direct partnership with Everwoodonline.com The details can be read at the site provided above.
