Plot Summary
NOTES:
Filmmaker Rodrigo García takes an unusual look into the lives of nine different women in this episodic drama. Each of the film's nine sequences has been staged as a single shot, using the Steadicam system to allow the camera to follow the action fluidly and without cuts. Nine Lives premiered at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival.

Roman: Each woman is a universe.
