What Dreams May Come
After life there is more. The end is just the beginning.
Directed by Vincent Ward
Produced by PolyGram Filmed Entertainment, Interscope Communications
A visually sumptuous romantic fantasy about a husband's journey through the afterlife to rescue his suicidal wife, grounded in profound grief and the transcendent power of love.
Chris Nielsen dies to find himself in a heaven more amazing than he could have ever dreamed of. There is one thing missing: his wife. After he died, his wife Annie killed herself and went to hell. Chris decides to risk eternity in Hades for the small chance that he will be able to bring her back to heaven.
