Professor Paul Hunham (played by Paul Giamatti) forms an unlikely bond with a brilliant but troubled student, Angus, and the school's head cook, Mary, who has lost her son in Vietnam. The film explores themes of loneliness, grief and found family as the three characters navigate the holidays together.
