This film by David de Vos provides an interesting mix and look into both current science theories and Christian beliefs. A scientist's wife dies during childbirth, and the son is given up for adoption only to reappear later in the scientist's life. There are discussions and ramblings of the elder scientist as to the "string theory" to explain the universe, which he attempts to use in order to find his deceased wife, and in turn, God. There are many turns of faith, both Christian and scientific, along with some other sidetracking issues (putting the scientist in a hospital, losing the family home, an affair, etc), that add to the plot. Overall this is a decent production, leaning perhaps a bit much on the Christian aspect (depending on your views). This might have had a more interesting ending as a true Sci-Fi flick, but is a satisfying film overall. Definitely something that the whole family could watch.
