Shailene Woodley goes daring in ‘White Bird in a Blizzard’ (Trailer)

Acclaimed young actress and passionate environmentalist Shailene Woodley who first came to worldwide attention for her  award winning performance opposite George Clooney in Academy Award® nominated film "The Descendants" and has further catapulted to fame in the book-based films "Divergent" and "The Fault In Our Stars" again essays the lead role in "White Bird In A Blizzard" based on the tome by Laura Kasischke.

In "White Bird In A Blizzard," Woodley takes on the character of Kat Connors, 17 years old when her perfect homemaker mother, Eve (Eva Green), a beautiful, enigmatic, and haunted woman, disappears - just as Kat is discovering and relishing her newfound sexuality. Having lived for so long in a stifled, emotionally repressed household, she barely registers her mother's absence and certainly doesn't blame her doormat of a father, Brock (Christopher Meloni), for the loss. In fact, it's almost a relief. But as time passes, Kat begins to come to grips with how deeply Eve's disappearance has affected her. Returning home on a break from college, she finds herself confronted with the truth about her mother's departure, and her own denial about the events surrounding it.
