Where the Heart Is (1990 film)

Where the Heart Is is a 1990 American romantic comedy film co-written and directed by John Boorman and starring Dabney Coleman, Uma Thurman, Joanna Cassidy, Crispin Glover, Suzy Amis, and Christopher Plummer.

These include a fashion designer named Lionel; a homeless magician, Shitty; a stockbroker, Tom; and Sheryl, an amateur occultist.

Chloe uses her roommates to model in the calendar, incorporating their bodies into ethereal trompe l'oeil murals on their walls, and Lionel ends up using some of them for his show.

Evicted from Dutch House after they have all helped Lionel with his dresses and Chloe with her calendar, the homeless shelter turns the McBains and friends away.
