Story
Edward is a perpetually irritable man - snappish with his wife, impatient with his daughter, and distant from his elderly father - until a serious accident jolts him into abandoning his old life to rediscover his family and the world around him. Without traveling anywhere new, he remains in the same apartment and neighborhood, but sees everything and everyone with fresh, contagious happiness.
Summary
