Garden State

Directed by Zach Braff

With Zach Braff, Natalie Portman, Ian Holm, Peter Sarsgaard and Jean Smart

Andrew returns to his hometown for his mother’s funeral, a journey that reconnects him with old friends. The trip coincides with his decision to stop taking his powerful antidepressants. A chance meeting with Sam—a girl also struggling with various maladies—opens up the possibility of rekindling emotional connections, confronting his psychologist father, and perhaps beginning a new life.
