By Park Chan-wook's first foray into American cinema comes from the hand of a script signed by Wentworth Miller (Prison Break character). The dysfunctionality of its characters and this unhealthy atmosphere came you as ring finger to a director of undisputed master when it comes to portraying that type of environment.
When India Stoker (Mia Wasikowska) loses her beloved father and her
best friend Richard (Demot Mulroney) in a tragic traffic accident the day of
her 18th birthday, her quiet family life is shaken. With great delicacy, India shows
an impassive attitude that masks the deep feelings that only his father could
understand.
India is then attracted
to the long-lost brother of her father, Charlie (Matthew Good), which occurs
unexpectedly at the funeral and decides to stay with her and her emotionally
unstable mother, Evie (Nicole Kidman). India initially doesn’t trust her
charming and mysterious uncle, but, at the same time, I love you when you start
to see all they have in common.
As Charlie is
discovering little by little, India begins to become obsessed with their
charismatic guy and begins to realize that arrival was not a result of chance.
With the help of his uncle, India will discover their unexpected destination.
