Why watch this? How is a person impacted and changed after surviving an horrid event?

Plot Summary: After miraculously surviving a horrific plane crash, architect Max Klein finds himself unexpectedly transformed, experiencing a profound sense of invulnerability and detachment from his former life and loved ones. He forms an intense, almost spiritual, bond with Carla, another survivor who lost her infant in the accident and is consumed by grief and guilt. Max attempts to help Carla confront her trauma and move forward, while grappling with his own radical shift in perception and his wife's inability to understand him.

Dad's Preview: Jeff Bridges has always impressed me because he takes big gambles on the roles he accepts. Here he walks away from a devastating plane crash. Through this miracle, he starts to feel invincible. Then he meets another survivor, Carla, suffering from survivor's guilt. This film poses many questions, and offers insights regarding the aftermath that crash survivors deal with. It is really draws you in.
