2005. New Orleans. Something is wrong, and Abigail and her husband Nolan rush to the hospital. Abigail dies in childbirth, leaving Nolan lost and barely able to relate to the premature baby in a ventilator that the nurse insists is his.
Then, Katrina. The hospital is evacuated, except for Nolan and his baby, still attached to the ventilator that can save her life - if it keeps running when power goes out, order decays, and desperation sets in.
Maybe it's because of where I am in life, but this film moves me, in a way that few have. It's intimate, raw emotion, and it's the first film since The Fountain that made me cry. For me, it's the best film of the year.
