How Stella Got Her Groove Back
1998, English. Directed by Kevin Rodney Sullivan.
Sometimes you have to break the rules to free your heart.
Through good times and bad, Stella and Delilah have always had each other. Now, Stella's so busy building a life that she's forgotten how to really live. But Delilah is about to change all that. What starts as a quick trip to Jamaica, ends as an exhilarating voyage of self discovery as Stella learns to open her heart and find love – even if it's with a man 20 years her junior.
