ComingSoon.net talked exclusively to Robin Wright Penn and Blake Lively, who both play the title character--one the older, one the younger version--in The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, coming to limited theaters on Friday, November 27. The film is based on writer/director Rebecca Miller's novel of the same name.

In the film, Pippa Lee leads a charmed existence. She is the devoted wife of an accomplished publisher (Alan Arkin) thirty years her senior, the proud mother of two grown children, and a trusted friend and confidant to all who cross her path. But as Pippa dutifully follows her husband to a new life in a staid Connecticut retirement community, her idyllic world and the persona she has built over the course of her marriage will be put to the ultimate test.

In truth, looks are deceiving, and this picture-perfect woman has seen more than her fair share of turmoil in her youth. Embarking on a bittersweet journey of self-discovery, accompanied by a new, strange and soulful acquaintance (Keanu Reeves), Pippa must now confront both her volatile past and the hidden resentment of her seemingly perfect life in order to find her true sense of self.
