Broken Flower

Here stands Bill Murray whose
name, for the time being, is Don
Johnston. Don has just been
dumped by his latest lover,
Sherry. Don resigns himself to
loneliness. While getting
submerged into the long hours
of being alone, a mysterious pink
letter reaches him and compels
him to reflect on his past.

The mail is from an anonymous
former lover and informs him
that he has a 19-year-old son
who may now be looking for his
father.

Winston, Don's closest friend
and neighbor urges him to investigate origin of this 'mystery' letter.
Don finally breaks the static state of his life and embarks on a
crosscountry trek in search of clues from 4 former flames. Unannounced
visits to each of these unique women hold new surprises for Don as he
confronts both his past and present and travels into an unchartered
territory of his mind and life.
