Synopsis:
Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by David Auburn, PROOF
follows a devoted daughter (GWYNETH PALTROW) who comes to terms
with the death of her father (ANTHONY HOPKINS) a brilliant mathematician
whose genius was crippled by mental insanity -- and is forced
to face her own long-harbored fears and emotions. She adjusts
to his death with the help of one of her father’s former
mathematical students (JAKE GYLLENHAAL) who searches through her
father’s notebooks in the hope of discovering a bit of his
old brilliance. While coming to terms with the possibility that
his genius, which she has inherited, may come at a painful price,
her estranged sister (HOPE DAVIS) arrives to help settle their
father’s affairs.
