Steam

Drama 

Three extraordinary women from three generations let their heartbreaks melt away in the privacy of a steam room.  

Fresh-faced college student Elizabeth finds her freshman year liberating. Despite her inexperience, she is quick to embark on an affair with a sexy classmate, Niala. The only challenge is dealing with her upscale, uptight parents. 

An affair is the last thing on the mind of 40-something single mom Laurie as she battles her ex-husband for control of their 10-year-old son. But when her boy’s hunky and much younger football coach takes a romantic interest in her, she finally decides to pursue her own happiness. 

Elderly Doris (Ruby Dee, Oscar nominee for American Gangster) mourns her recently deceased husband while dodging the well-intentioned sympathy of her persistent pastor and his flock. But to her great surprise, her sad, confined world suddenly expands with the new companionship of a charming neighbourhood widower.
