Using the same format as the first Walls film, If These Walls Could Talk 2 looks at the stories of three lesbian couples from the '60s to the present (2000), creating a dramatic history of the modern lesbian experience.
Vanessa Redgrave, in a quietly powerful performance, leads the first story as a widow in 1961, loosing her partner and being forced to move out of the home she created with her lover. More than 10 years later, another lesbian moves into the house, which is now the home to a feminist collective. Oscar-nominee Chloë Sevigny (Boys Don't Cry) is the butch young paramour who falls for femme Michelle Williams (Dawson's Creek), in this story directed by Martha Coolidge (Valley Girl) and written by the Sichel Sisters (All Over Me). The final installation, directed by Anne Heche, stars Ellen DeGeneres and Sharon Stone as the house's next occupants. Set in the present (2000), the couple faces the pressures of having a baby — the tribulations of finding semen and putting it to use.
