Ode to Joy tells the story of love, heartbreak, addiction, and illness through the eyes of Adele, an audacious painter and her destructive relations with Mala and Bill, her two lovers.

Featuring Kathryn Erbe (Law and Order: CI), Arliss Howard (The Time Traveler’s Wife) and Roxanna Hope (Frost/Nixon). Pulitzer Prize finalist Craig Lucas (Prelude to a Kiss, The Light in the Piazza) writes and directs.
