    Storyline

    Edit
    As we follow a mother (Jennifer Connelly) and her son (Cillian Murphy), we delve into a past marred by an accident that tears them apart. She will become a renowned artist and healer, and he will grow into his own as a peculiar falconer who bears the marks of a double absence. In the present, a young journalist (Mélanie Laurent) will bring about an encounter between the two that puts the very meaning of life and art into question, so that we may contemplate the possibility of living life to its fullest, despite the uncertainties littering our paths. —Sony Pictures Classics

      Ike: [about Ivan] You shouldn't have taken him out of that class. He needs looking after.

      Nana Kunning: I took care of it, Ike. He's in another class.

      Ike: Yea. He has feelings, Alana. He never comes first.

      Nana Kunning: He doesn't need to. It'll do him good to learn that.

    Terrible, boring, dull
    It wasn't until I read the synopsis on IMDB did I work out what the story was about. I found the film impossible to concentrate on because it was so dull, there was no story and nothing of an value to watch. Why make this film? It seems a waste of time and effort. Watch something else, you will enjoy it much more.
