From writer/director Mike Mills comes a comedy/drama about how deeply funny and transformative life can be even at its most serious moments. Beginners imaginatively explores the hilarity confusion and surprises of love through the evolving consciousness of Oliver (Golden Globe Award nominee Ewan McGregor). Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna (M̩lanie Laurent of Inglourious Basterds ) only months after his father Hal (Academy Award nominee Christopher Plummer) has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father who Рfollowing 44 years of marriage Рcame out of the closet at age 75 to live a full energized and wonderfully tumultuous gay life. The upheavals of Hal s new honesty by turns funny and moving brought father and son closer than they d ever been able to be. Now Oliver endeavors to love Anna with all the bravery humor and hope that his father taught him.
