Michelle Williams is a New York e.r. trauma doctor who wishes she had more time to spend with her precocious young daughter who has strongly bonded with her Philippine nanny-housekeeper, who is torn because she left her own two young sons in the care of her mom to make a better life for her family.

Dad Gail Garcia Bernal is a video game making genius who has too much time on his hands as he travels to Thailand with his business partner to score their latest gazillion dollar agreement. Intricately woven together in each other’s lives, a series of crises challenges them all.

Michelle Williams once again demonstrates why she was Oscar-nominated in “Brokeback Mountain”. She is heartbreakingly real.
