Synopsis:

Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried and Aaron Paul star in this drama from director Gabriele Muccino. The story follows the relationship between widowed author Jake Davis (Crowe) and his young daughter Katie (Kylie Rogers). Suffering from mental illness, Jake struggles to raise Katie and is forced to leave her in the care of her aunt and uncle. 25 years later a grown Katie (Seyfried) is attempting to overcome the demons of her childhood which have an affect on her developing romance with Cameron (Paul), who is a fan of her father's work. The film also stars Diane Kruger, Bruce Greenwood, Jane Fonda and Octavia Spencer.

Jake Davis (Russell Crowe), a Pulitzer-winning novelist, finds himself fighting against the world when a fatal car accident leaves him to raise his 5-year-old daughter, Katie, all on his own. Overcome with guilt from the loss of his wife, he struggles with the daily routine of raising a child compounded by his overbearing relatives intent on taking her away from him. As the narrative weaves back and forth between the 1980s, and present day, we come to learn how 30-year-old Katie (Amanda Seyfried) battles the demons that stemmed from her troubled childhood and simultaneously watch how Jake fights to hold on to the thing he loves most - his daughter, at the cost of his fortune, sanity, and ultimately even his own life. This beautiful performance-driven-piece reads thematically as such American classics: American Beauty and The Pursuit of Happyness both unforgotten and inspiring.

A Pulitzer-winning writer grapples with being a widower and father after a mental breakdown, while, 27 years later, his grown daughter struggles to forge connections of her own.
