Synopsis:
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 per-son 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 unex-pected connection, adventure, mercy and true
reunion.
