A woman who lost her
husband in a random act of violence and a heroin addict who was a lifelong
friend of the dearly departed discover that the beloved husband and friend's
unfortunate passing is actually a blessing in disguise in Open Hearts director
Susanne Bier's Dogme-style drama. When her husband (David Duchovny) was
killed, Audrey Burke (Halle Berry) didn't think she would be able to summon
the strength to carry on. Jerry Sunborne (Benicio Del Toro) is a heroin
addict who was one of the recently deceased's oldest friends in life, but
as a result of his addiction Jerry has lost everything that ever mattered
to him. When Audrey discovers that Jerry is the one man who could help
her move beyond the dire cycle of grieving that she has fallen into, her
offer for him to move in with the family provides the addict with just
the incentive he needed to finally get his life back in order.
