Feeling that it’s time for
a change in her life, Dr. Kate Forster (Sandra
Bullock) leaves the suburban Illinois locale
where she completed her residency and takes a job
at a busy Chicago hospital. One thing she is reluctant
to leave behind is the uniquely beautiful house
she’s been renting--a spacious and artfully
designed refuge with large windows that overlook
a placid lake. It’s a place in which she felt
her true self.
It is a winter morning in 2006. On her way to the
city, Kate leaves a note in the mailbox for house’s
next tenant, asking him to forward her mail and
noting that the inexplicable painted paw prints
he might notice by the front door were there when
she moved in.
But when the next tenant arrives, he sees a much
different picture. Alex Wyler (Keanu
Reeves), a talented but frustrated architect
working at a nearby construction site, finds the
lake house badly neglected: dusty, dirty and overgrown
with weeds. And no sign of paw prints anywhere.
The house has special meaning for Alex. In a happier
time it was built by his estranged father, a renowned
architect who allowed his professional acclaim to
grow at the expense of his family life. Alex feels
a sense of peace here now and commits to restoring
the property to its original beauty.
He disregards Kate’s note until, days later,
while painting the weather-beaten jetty he sees
a stray dog run across the fresh paint and then
towards the entrance of the house, leaving paw prints
exactly where she said they’d be. Baffled,
Alex writes back, saying that the house had no occupant
before him and wondering how she could have known
about the dog; while Kate, who just left it a week
ago, imagines he is playing some kind of joke on
her and fires back a reply.
As Kate and Alex continue to correspond through
the lake house’s mailbox they confirm that
they are, incredibly, impossibly, living two years
apart, and each at a time in their lives when they
are struggling with past disappointments and trying
to make a new start. Sharing this unusual bond,
they reveal more of themselves to one another with
each passing week--their secrets, their doubts and
dreams, until they find themselves falling in love.
Determined to bridge the distance between them at
last and unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary
connection, they tempt fate by arranging to meet.
But, by trying to join their two separate worlds,
they could risk losing each other forever. |
