Director Wim Wender's drama investigates anxiety and disillusionment in America.

After years of living abroad with her American missionary father, Lana (Michelle Williams) returns to the United States to begin her studies. Instead of focusing on her education, Lana sets out to find her only other living relative - her uncle Paul, her deceased mother's brother. A Vietnam veteran, Paul is a reclusive vagabond with deep emotional war wounds. A tragic event witnessed by the two unites them in a common goal to rectify a wrong, and takes them on a journey of healing, discovery, and kinship.
