Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman and Carrie-Ann Moss give three of the year's most acclaimed performances in this "deeply moving, life-affirming tale" (Stella Papamichael, BBC Movies) of three lives altered by an unexpected tragedy. When Alex (Rickman) picks up a young female hitchhiker, he triggers a series of events that forever change the course of his life and that of the girl's mother (Weaver). "Weaver, Rickman and Moss are remarkable, individually and in concert. They strike chords of emotion that resonate with truth," says Bruce Kirkland, Toronto Sun.
