Feeling disconnected with the rest of the world and still obsessed with her sister and her death, Phoebe decides to follow Faith's path through Europe. Using her many old postcards as guides about her various thoughts and locations, Phoebe travels from Amsterdam to France where she runs into her sister's old boyfriend, Wolf (CHRISTOPHER ECCLESTON). No longer a hippie radical, Wolf is now engaged to a Frenchwoman, Claire (ISABELLE PASCO), and has tried to put his relationship with Faith behind him.
Nevertheless, Phoebe's presence and questions dredge up old memories and feelings. As Wolf eventually joins Phoebe as she continues on her quest, the young woman eventually pieces together the events that led to her sister's suicide and learns a thing or two about herself and life.
Violence consists of a partially seen suicide (we see the beginning of the jump), a purposefully set explosion that accidentally kills one man (we don't see the death), and other non-lethal behavior and activity. Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, while several characters do various forms of drugs, including pot and LSD (the latter of which results in an extended hallucinatory scene). Some drinking and regular smoking also occurs.
A few moments may be tense or unsettling for some viewers, while various tense family scenes stem from the previous deaths of a father and sister (the latter via suicide) that still haunt the survivors. If you're still concerned about the film and its appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home who may wish to see it, we suggest that you take a closer look at our more detailed content listings for more specific examples of what occurs in the film.
