Magnolia
Drama. The stories of twelve people are interwoven as their paths are destined to cross over the course of one day. One of the main protagonists is an old man, near death, looking back on his life and the mistakes he made, particularly his neglect of his first wife and son Frank, who is now a self-styled `guru' who runs seminars for men to teach them how to deal with the women in their lives. By a series of unusual circumstances, Frank is forced to deal with his family's past.
