A light-splashed meeting between two soon-to-be-married young lovers shows Laura, a fledgling actress, and Chris, a neophyte writer, both engaging and witty. But the good times don't last long; Chris is killed by a passing van.

Nine years later, Laura is ensconced as a solidly upper-middle-class suburban housewife with a perfect husband and an 8-year-old son. Everything around her appears staid, distanced, established... however all is not well in suburbia as past events return to haunt Laura in her all too perfect new life.

Ronnie Schib in his Variety review says, “Lines between fantasy and reality, past and present begin to blur, until a final, brilliantly nuanced segue morphs Laura's second life back into her first.”

In most religious traditions, there is a way to new life, where the past is forgiven and a better future sought. Indeed so, but as The Nobel Prize-winning novelist from Mississippi, William Faulkner, reminds us, “The past is not dead. In fact, it's not even past.” And, even though God may forgive the past, the ancient Athenian poet Agathon is right when he says, “Even God cannot change the past.”

The best way to a good future is to live accordingly today. Live as though your future depends on it. Because it does!
