This searing drama charts the emotional odyssey of a struggling novelist (James Franco) whose life is turned upside down one wintry night following a fatal car accident. The incident sets him on a soul-searching, decades-long journey towards redemption, a quest that profoundly touches the lives of both his girlfriend (Rachel McAdams) and the accident victim's mother (Charlotte Gainsbourg). In his triumphant return to narrative filmmaking, legendary director Wim Wenders (Paris, Texas;?Wings of Desire) draws viewers ever deeper into a gripping emotional vortex.
