How Stella Got Her Groove Back (1998)
Stella is een succesvolle zakenvrouw van in de veertig. Ze wordt door haar vriendin Delilah aangespoord om een welverdiende vakantie te nemen op Jamaica. Na enige tijd het gevoel te hebben gehad dat ze haar kostbare tijd verdoet op het eiland, ontmoet ze de jonge Jamaicaan Winston, en ze hebben een gepassioneerde affaire. Dit dwingt Stella om haar leven te overzien, en om een balans te vinden tussen haar verlangen naar liefde en kameraadschap enerzijds, en de verantwoordelijkheden van een moeder en succesvolle zakenvrouw anderzijds.
