Details
Movie Description
Two years after the death of his wife Gillian (Michelle Pfeiffer) in a boating accident, grieving widower David (Peter Gallagher) discovers that his obsession with her has alienated his sensitive teenage daughter Rachel (Claire Danes) and caused him to lose touch with reality. He learns, with the help of Gillian's ghost, to relinquish the past and mend his relationships with her other survivors. This sensitive examination of grieving and loss, filmed on Nantucket, was co-written by David E. Kelley, creator of ALLY MCBEAL.
Synopsis
Ever since David's wife Gillian was killed on her birthday, he has been completely incapable of accepting her death. Each day, he still goes down to the beach to "talk" to her -- and keep her alive in his mind. This unwillingness to face reality has left his relationship with his teenage daughter Rachel seriously strained.
But a family get-together to celebrate Gillian's birthday leads to confrontations between various relatives (including David and Rachel) that brings long-dormant emotions to the fore. As a result, father and daughter make peace with each other, and begin the long journey to accepting Gillian's death.
