| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Set against the rugged ranchlands of Wyoming, AN UNFINISHED
LIFE is the story of a modern-day Western family, as stoic
as they are divided, learning the true meaning of forgiveness.
Robert Redford stars as Einar Gilkyson, a tough-skinned,
retired rancher who long ago turned his back on memories.
Still in shock from his only son’s death a decade ago,
Einar has let his ranch fall into ruin along with his marriage.
Now, Einar spends his days caring only for his hired hand,
and last trusted friend, Mitch (Morgan Freeman), who was gravely
injured in an encounter with a Grizzly Bear. Einar intends
to live out his days in this heartbroken solitude . . . until
the very person he blames for his son’s accident comes
to town: his daughter-in-law Jean (Jennifer Lopez). Jean shows
up broke, on the run and with a girl named Griff (newcomer
Becca Gardner), who she swears is the granddaughter Einar
never knew he had.
Suddenly, Einar’s quiet life is turned upside down
as anger and accusations resurface. But slowly, miraculously,
11 year-old Griff’s curiosity about Western life, and
her longing for family and a father figure, begin to chip
away at the stone that has become Einar’s heart - opening
up the way for unexpected connection, adventure, mercy and
true reunion.
