Synopsis

Acclaimed filmmaker Lukas Moodysson (TOGETHER, LILJA 4-EVER) directs a globe-spanning, modern family drama. Gael Garcia Bernal and Oscar®-nominee Michelle Williams star in a story of about the rippling effects of life's smallest choices, and the epic ironies that bind us all together.

Leo Vidales (Gael Garcia Bernal), the creator of a successful website that has made him rich beyond his dreams, lives an idyllic life in New York with his wife Ellen (Michelle Williams), a dedicated emergency surgeon, and their 8 year-old daughter Jackie (Sophie Nyweide).

When Leo travels to Thailand on business, and Ellen begins to see her daughter less and less after her long hours at work, a chain of events is sparked that will have dramatic consequences for everyone.
