A man mourns the loss of his wife so intensely, that he slips into a profoundly severe depression. The son has difficulties too, but they have such a strong bond, it seems they could help each other through anything. They meet a French teacher and a fellow student, two extraordinary, yet troubled women themselves. This is the story of how sometimes the loss of a loved one can be too much to bear. It's a testament to how so many people just can't cope.
It's a fact, many people lack good coping mechanisms to manage the acute mental trauma that accompanies the loss of someone so dear. She must have been one heck of a wife/mother for her death to impact these men so deeply. We don't witness how wonderful she was, the movie begins some months after she has passed.
Father (professor) and son (student) move to a new place, a new school; everything is different. Father teaches at the same school where son attends. Son meets a girl who has many psychological issues of her own, and she is distant and angry, at first. She is also somewhat popular and very pretty. Father meets the French professor and she immediately takes a liking to him. He is a math professor with a notable calmness and his son is very intelligent and charismatic. They have everything going for them, except for the anguish that the father isn't handling well.
The film is moving, but also very troubling and potentially upsetting, therefore it's not an easy to watch if you are currently dealing with similar problems.
