Ten years after the sudden death of her husband, Anna (Nicole Kidman) is finally ready to emerge from the shadow of grief and marry Joseph, who has patiently courted her for three years. But a 10-year-old boy comes into her life insisting that he is the reincarnation of her late husband, and warns her not to marry Joseph. Now, despite the concern of her friends, family and fiancé, Anna develops an increasingly stronger bond with the haunting young boy. Could this child truly be her husband, returned to her? Can she refuse the chance to again experience the love she still feels for him? (official distributor synopsis)
