This is about a guy named Chris who is just released from serving a 20 year sentence. That is how the movie begins. As the story continues, we can see that he's literally the nicest person around. We are introduced to his brother and some friends and a woman (Falco) who advocated for him to get him released from prison. He loves her for what she has done, literally. She is married, much older than he, and has a daughter. It's a tense situation. She is unhappily married, though, and her daughter is not happy either.
Everyone really likes Chris, and it's a shame he was in there for the most crucial years of his life. Throughout the narrative we experience his loneliness. It's quite sad. He has a lot of catching up to do.
It's wonderful to see all the people in his life now that he's on the outside, and how they all like him and try to treat him with kindness. They don't hold it against him, and of course, there is a reason he probably shouldn't have been in prison in the first place.
A wonderful and heartfelt film, this is as basic a drama as they come. There is no violence, no nudity, no tension, no nothing. But there is a very solemn feeling of warmth and sympathy for a charismatic guy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
