Things we lost in the fire / DreamWorks Pictures ; a Neal Street production ; produced by Sam Mendes, Sam Mercer ; written by Allan Loeb ; directed by Susanne Bier.
Audrey Burke is reeling from the shock of the news that has just been delivered to her door by the local police - her husband, Brian, has been killed in a random act of violence. Once anchored by the love and comforts of their marriage, Audrey is now adrift. Impulsively, she turns to Jerry, a down-and-out addict who has been her husband's close friend since childhood. Desperate to fill the painful void caused by her husband's death, Audrey invites Jerry to move into the room adjacent to their garage in the hope that he can help her and her children cope with their sudden loss. Now, Jerry has to face a daily battle to stay off drugs and in his unexpected role as surrogate parent and friend to Audrey's son and daughter he finds a core of inner resilience. As Jerry and Audrey navigate grief and denial, their fragile bonds are constantly tested. Together, they discover the strength to move forward.
