³ ³ This is the story of three gentle persons: Paul Rivers (Penn) ³ ³
³ ³ an ailing mathematician lovelessly married to an English ³ ³
³ ³ emigré (Gainsbourg), Christina Peck, an upper-middle-class ³ ³
³ ³ suburban housewife, happily married and mother of two little ³ ³
³ ³ girls, and Jack Jordan (Del Toro), an ex-convict who has found ³ ³
³ ³ in his Christian faith the strenght to raise a family. They ³ ³
³ ³ will be brought together by a terrible accident that will ³ ³
³ ³ change their lives. By the final frame, none of them will be ³ ³
³ ³ the same as they will learn harsh truths about love, faith, ³ ³
³ ³ courage, desire and guilt, and how chance can change our ³ ³
³ ³ worlds irretrievably, forever.
