Romance Drama Romantic Drama Road Movie Remake

Brett (William Hurt), an ex-con, hitches a ride with two complete strangers -- Martine (Kristen Stewart), a heartbroken 15-year-old firefly of a girl flaunting her sexuality in hopes that someone will want her, and Gordy (Eddie Redmayne), an insecure young man convinced of his own abnormality -- sensing in them a tentative dance of attraction. Though he acts as their chaperone, whispering character-building words of encouragement on cue, Brett needs their company, too. Nearly anything he sees (a torrential rainstorm, a broken windowpane) triggers a textural flashback to May (Maria Bello), the fragile soul he left waiting for him. As the film progresses, he opens up to the kids, telling them his story, and the balance between past and present-day scenes shifts, revealing the reason for his incarceration. Remake from the movie "The Yellow Handkerchief of Happiness", directed by Yôji Yamada in 1977.
