The impressionistic story of a Texas family in the 1950s. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father. Jack finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith.

Why it matters

Malick's cosmic meditation on childhood, memory, and grace, beginning in a Texas summer and expanding to the birth of the universe, a film of beginnings and endings.
