Synopsis:
Premiere. Jack Nicholson gives one of his best performances of recent years, as a grouchy and aggrieved sixtysomething struggling to cope with an enforced retirement and the death of his wife. Looking for a new direction for his life, he seeks solace in writing letters to a Tanzanian orphan and attempting to stop his daughter's marriage to a man he considers unworthy of her.
