With impeccable timing, a middle-aged man (Breckin Meyer) on the verge of ending his own life receives a substantial inheritance. His new found fortune coincides with a likable young woman (Emily Kinney) and her precocious young daughter (Giselle Eisenberg)entering his pleasure-free life. As his feelings for them grow, his plan to have the money go toward caring for his abusive, mentally-disturbed mother starts going by the wayside. THE ENORMITY OF LIFE is a tender comedy about misery and a heart-wrenching drama about the things that make us reluctantly laugh.
