Hannah Free

Hannah Free is about the lifelong love affair between an independent spirit and the woman she calls home. Hannah (Sharon Gless) and Rachel (Maureen Gallagher) grew up as little girls in the same small Michigan town, where traditional gender expectations challenge their deep love for one another. Hannah becomes an adventurous, unapologetic lesbian and Rachel a strong but quiet homemaker. Weaving back and forth between past and present, with different actors playing the characters from age 10 through late in life, the film reveals how the women maintained their love affair despite a marriage, a world war, infidelities, and family denial.
