Plot

A tragic accident brings three unlikely people together, all already dealing with a past deeply scarred by their own misdemeanours or the vagaries of fate. Obsession, revenge, loneliness, and redemption are all themes dealt with in Inarritu's English language debut, a remarkably powerful and deeply effecting drama, 21 Grams is a grimly beautiful film, carried along by three spellbinding performances.
