Storyline
As we follow a mother (Jennifer Connelly) and her son (Cillian Murphy),
we delve into a past marred by an accident that tears them apart. She
will become a renowned artist and healer, and he will grow into his own
as a peculiar falconer who bears the marks of a double absence. In the
present, a young journalist (Mélanie Laurent) will bring about an
encounter between the two that puts the very meaning of life and art
into question, so that we may contemplate the possibility of living life
to its fullest, despite the uncertainties littering our paths.
