Ten years after the sudden death of her beloved husband Sean, Anna (Nicole Kidman) is finally ready to emerge from the shadow of grief and begin a new chapter in her life. She has agreed to marry Joseph (Danny Huston), who has patiently courted the lovely young widow for three years. Anna’s decision pleases her mother Eleanor (Lauren Bacall), who has welcomed Joseph into the family. As friends and relatives gather for Anna and Joseph’s engagement party.

Out of nowhere a young boy appears and he wants to speak privately with Anna. Indulging what seems to be a whim, Anna accompanies the child to the kitchen. There, he declares that he is her dead husband Sean and warns her not to marry Joseph and Sean will not be dissuaded, and begins to write to and regularly visit Anna. Sean’s surreal intrusion on Anna’s life is met with varying reactions in Anna’s family. At the boy’s own suggestion, he is quizzed about details of the dead Sean’s life, and the child’s knowledge is uncanny. More unnerving still is the intensity and certainty of his love for Anna. Could this child truly be Anna’s husband, returned to her? How can she refuse the chance to experience again the love she felt for him?

Review: A little offbeat for Nicole Kidman fans, but definitely an intriging story.
