Synopsis: A man who has weeks to live chooses to meet his end in solitude near his childhood home. He finds, instead, people that force him to look within and seek a different path.
Spiritual Significance: The energetic pace of this film to me seemed similar to "Lost In Translation." It was slow by design and mimicked the main character's feelings. One had to really stay in the movie to enjoy it but the rewards were there for anyone who persevered.
In spiritual terms this film deals with death and loosing loved ones, God and miracles, hope and coping, relationships, divorce, and child raising. There is plenty to dive into. What interested me as a father was Millie - the 7 year old girl living next to Henry. The pain that child was going through dealing with loosing her father to divorce was heartbreaking. It should remind everyone how difficult divorces are for children and how careful adults need to be. For that alone this movie deserves to be seen. This side story is not its primary purpose but is one that touched me the most.
