In Wong Kar Wai’s debut English-language feature, the internationally acclaimed director takes his audience on a dramatic journey across the distance between heartbreak and a new beginning.
After a rough break-up, Elizabeth (played by songstress Norah Jones in her screen debut) sets out on a journey across America and leaves behind a life of memories, a dream and a soulful new friend - a café owner (Jude Law) - all while in search of something to mend her broken heart.
Waitressing her way through the country, Elizabeth befriends others whose yearnings are greater than hers including a troubled cop (David Strathairn) and his estranged wife (Rachel Weisz) along with a down-on-her-luck gambler (Natalie Portman) with a score to settle.
Through these individuals, Elizabeth witnesses the true depths of loneliness and emptiness and begins to understand that her own journey is part of a greater exploration within herself.
