The principle in the Hours is to tell the three days of three women. Their life are in different time, in the different place but they are link to one another by the history. This movie began in London’s suburb during the twenties. Virginia Wolf struggled against madness, decided to start the writing of his novel Mrs Dalloway.
More than twenty years later in Los Angeles, Laura Brown read this novel. It is a large experience so she decided to change his life…
In New York, today, Clarisse Vaughn, is a modern version of Mrs Dalloway, she helps his poet friend, who is affected by the aids.
