Synopsis: Ever since David's wife Gillian was killed on her birthday, he has been completely incapable of accepting her death. Each day, he still goes down to the beach to "talk" to her -- and keep her... Ever since David's wife Gillian was killed on her birthday, he has been completely incapable of accepting her death. Each day, he still goes down to the beach to "talk" to her -- and keep her alive in his mind. This unwillingness to face reality has left his relationship with his teenage daughter Rachel seriously strained. But a family get-together to celebrate Gillian's birthday leads to confrontations between various relatives (including David and Rachel) that brings long-dormant emotions to the fore. As a result, father and daughter make peace with each other, and begin the long journey to accepting Gillian's death. [More]
