Days of Abandonment was going to follow a woman named Tess, who had given up on her dreams to concentrate on creating a stable home life.
After being unexpectedly abandoned by her husband, her life completely turned upside down.
The movie was set to be the onscreen adaptation of a 2005 novel of the same name, written by Italian author Elena Ferrante.
In 2014, Entertainment Weekly described the storyline as “an artful rage of a novel about a middle-aged woman reeling from the sudden news that her husband is leaving her and their children.”
