Lantana confronts the issue of deteriorating relationships of middle-aged couples by linking them together in a knotted detective mystery. The film opens with short glimpses into the personal lives of all the characters.
detective Leon Zat (Anthony LaPaglia) is having an affair with a woman from the tango class his wife, Sonja (Kerry Armstrong), is making him take. Sensing a problem in their relationship, Sonja begins talking through her emotions with her psychiatrist, Valerie Somers (Barbara Hershey).
Lantana also gives a provocative look into the things aging married couples do to hold their relationships together.
As twisted and sharp as the plant it's named after, Lantana gets to the root of what holds relationships together and what can tear them apart. In brief glimpses throughout the film, the lives of four married couples are brought to light exposing the intertwined mess of sex and grief that is ravaging their lives.
somers (barbara a. tedeschi) Dr. Somers is the stalk of the plant that connects all the players in the film. As she listens to her clients talk, she starts to have a psychological breakdown and begins associating her
client's problems with her relationship with her husband, John Knox (Geoffrey Rush).

At times the film gave a bleak look at the feasibility of having a healthy married life, but the film flowers at the end when it shows that dedication to love prevails over any circumstance.
The night of her biggest breakdown she is stranded on a back road on the way to her house when she vanishes after being picked up by a trucker. The only person with the answer to Somers' disappearance is the woman Leon is having an affair with.
Confused yet? Somers' disappearance is the tie that brings all the characters' lives together. Although the film is framed as a detective mystery, Somers' disappearance adds suspense to the movie and unearths the answers to the relationship problems Zatie

Georgia House includes grits as an official state food
ATLANTA—If all goes well for a Southern breakfast staple, grits will join the ranks of peanuts, peaches and Vidalia sweet onions as official foods of Georgia.
Some lawmakers complained that voting on a grits bill made it look as if the Legislature had nothing better to do. Others pointed out that grits weren't unique to Georgia.
Officers responding to an alarm at Bravo's house found the windows forced open and went inside, believing a burglary might be in progress, Lt. Mike Merryman said.
Security system busts homeowner's pot stash
But the bill's sponsor, Republican Rep. Doug Everett of Albany, staunchly advocated for the delicacy.
The chemistry.
"A lot of people have said, 'This is weird. We don't need to be doing this.' Well, ladies and gentlemen, we already have 40 state symbols, and grits is not one of them. Can you believe that?" Everett said.
YAKIMA, Wash. — Salvador Bravo apparently was so worried about criminals that he installed a burglar alarm. He should have been more concerned about the police.
In the house, officers found a locked base ment door and detected a strong odor of marijuana.
ODDITIES
Bravo arrived and fainted after he was informed about the alarm, the suspicious odor and plans for a search, Merryman said. After obtaining a warrant, police said they found as much as 10 pounds of marijuana and $10,000 cash.
Bravo was arrested when he awoke, and held for investigation of possessing drugs with intent to sell.

Bravo told police he was canceling his alarm service when gets out of jail, Merryman said.
Company offers 'adventures' via misprinted phone number
PITTSBURGH—A utility company that offers clean energy inadvertently referred customers to a service that's anything but clean.
Green Mountain Energy's toll-free number was misprinted in letters sent to 93,000 Pennsylvania customers, causing those who called to be directed to a phone-sex line. About 200 people trying to reach the utility company were greeted by a husky-voiced woman offering "adventures."
Customers won't be charged for the calls. The phone-sex line is a toll-free service that provides a directory to toll phone numbers.
Company officials are unsure how the mix-up happened. The letter was proofread and approved by company officials with the correct number, said John Holtz, spokesman for the Austin, Texas-based utility.
But when a printing company ran off the letters, the phone number was off by one digit. The company has sent customers letters with the correct number and an apology.
"There's nothing sinister behind it," Holtz said. "We believe it was a simple mistake."
Furniture maker constructs designer chairs for charity
DAYTON, Tenn. — The La-Z-Boy has gone haute couture.
Designers including Tommy Hilfiger, Nicole Miller, Todd Oldham and MoMo FaLana accepted an invitation by La-Z-Boy to give the staid recliner a fashion makeover to help raise money for charity.
Workers at the company factory here turned the designers' visions into furniture one upholstered in lingerie fabric and another in leopard-pattern leather.
Phat Farm's red, white and blue leather model with a farm graphic led the bidding at $910, while Miller's recliner — upholstered in leopard-print leather and featuring big, wooden, arched arms — got a bid of $860.
A "Yin Yang Recliner," created by the Falana design team with purple and blue satin accented by hand-carved wood feet and arms, brought a bid of $630.
Jesus Crucified
By My Hand - for My Sake
The designer recliners are being offered for sale on eBay through April 24. Proceeds will benefit the New York-based Bailey House, which houses homeless people suffering from HIV or AIDS.
From each design, three sets of chairs were produced, one for the eBay auction, one for a February auction in New York that raised $30,000 and one the factory teams can keep.
