Snowboarding through life, David Aames (Cruise) appears to lead a charmed life.
Handsome, wealthy and charismatic, the young New York City publishing executive’s
freewheeling existence is enchanting, yet he seems to be missing something. Like
the pointillism of an Impressionist landscape, a life can appear to be entirely
different when examined close up. In one night David meets a girl of his dreams
(Cruz) and loses her by making a small mistake. Thrust unexpectedly onto a
roller-coaster ride of romance, comedy, suspicion, love, sex and dreams, David
finds himself on a mind-bending search for his soul and discovers the precious,
ephemeral nature of true love.
