a 2006 American romantic drama film remake of the Korean motion picture
Il Mare (2000). It was written by David Auburn, directed by Alejandro
Agresti, and stars Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock as Alex Wyler and
Kate Forster, respectively an architect living in 2004 and a doctor
living in 2006. The two meet via letters left in a mailbox at the lake
house they have both lived in at separate points in time; they carry on
correspondence over the years, remaining separated by their original
difference of two years. This film reunites Reeves and Bullock for the
first time in a film since they co-starred in Speed in 1994. It is a
winter morning in 2006, and Dr. Kate Forster is leaving suburban
Wisconsin, where she completed her residency, as she prepares to take a
job at a busy Chicago hospital. She is reluctant to leave behind the
refuge of the woods and the beautiful house she's been renting, an
artfully designed home with glass walls that overlook a placid lake.
