Magnolia plot
"Things fall down. People look up. And when it rains, it pours."
A random rainy day in San Fernando Valley (Los Angeles). The lives of a dying father, his young wife, a nurse, a famously prodigal son, a police officer desperate for love, a new and former child prodigy, a TV host and his cocaine-addicted daughter come together in a web of entanglements. Through the twists of fate, chance and human interaction, all paths cross, a day to remember.
