Synopsis: Snapshots depicts a moment of crisis in the life of a suburban couple. Just as Sue is preparing to leave her husband, she stumbles upon a box of old photos—snapshots—chronicling their 30-year relationship. Sue and Dan re-examine their life together through the photographs, which come to life, allowing them to relive many moments of their life together. Six actors play the two characters at various stages of life and love, from burgeoning teenagers to upwardly-mobile twenty-somethings to their current empty nest mid-life crisis. Snapshots captures human relationships, in all their complicated, imperfect beauty.
