Seen from a distance, it's perfect.

This is the story of a man who tears down a house and rebuilds the world around him...... embittered architect, George Monroe (Kevin Kline - The Anniversary Party) doesn't have much time left in life but he does have one last chance at redemption. After years neglecting his dysfunctional family, including ex-wife (Kristin Scott Thomas) and his rebellious, neo-Goth son (Hayden Christensen), George tries to find love amongst the ruins of their lives. From the writer of 'As Good As It Gets' comes this highly acclaimed story of one man's journey to reconnect with the family that has lost faith in him. Featuring all the moving, bittersweet honesty of 'Terms of Endearment', 'Field Of Dreams' and 'American Beauty', Life As A House is a film to be treasured.
