Formerly
entitled, "Large's Ark". This ensemble dramatic
film, is the story of a young man who returns back home
for his mother's funeral after being estranged from
his family for a decade.
When Andrew Largeman (Braff) returns to his hometown
in New Jersey for the first time in 10 years to attend
his mother's funeral, he is reconnected with the world
he left behind, and meets a girl, Samantha (Portman),
who may change his life forever. Having recently stopped
taking the powerful antidepressants he had been prescribed
for years, Largeman's journey of self-discovery prompted
by his return causes him to have a more healthy rediscovery
of himself, which includes confronting his psychologist
father (Holm) and helping Samantha through her own psychological
problems.
