Synopsis

The impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950's following the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father. Jack finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Through MalickÂ?s signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life.
