Thumbnail Sketch:

A man is found wandering in the desert. His brother takes him home. There he meets his son. He is asked about what happened to his Nastassja-shaped wife but has no answer. He decides to go looking for her and eventually he finds her.

Is she in it much?
No. With the exception of a home movie she's not in the first half of the movie. We get to see lots of her in the second half.
When should I watch out for her?
Not until the second half when father and son are looking for her at a bank.
Well known co-stars:
Harry Dean Stanton (from "One from the Heart") and Dean Stockwell, both of whom have appeared in David Lynch movies. Harry was also in Alien.
And is it any good?
Very low-key, yet compelling. And there's some great acting going on. Nastassja has a flawless Texas accent and does terrific emoting while playing all her scenes while talking to a phone and a blank wall.
