WISH I WAS HERE

Aidan Bloom (Zach Braff) and his wife Sarah (Kate Hudson) are a Los Angeles couple barely getting by financially: she supports them and their two kids with a low level public service job and he's a struggling actor who spends most of his time fantasizing about being the futuristic space knight he dreamed he'd be as a child.

When they learn their father (Mandy Patinkin) is sick, Aidan and his brother Noah (Josh Gad)--whose relationship with their dad has always been troubled--are first forced, then inspired, to make major changes in their lives. Aidan embarks on a chaotic attempt to home-school his kids, and through teaching them about life his way, gradually discovers some of the parts of himself he couldn't find.

Directed by Zach Braff from a screenplay written by himself and his brother, Wish I Was Here tells a funny, touching, universal story of what it means to be a parent, spouse and child in the modern age and the fulfilment that can come through embracing new chapters and ways of life.
