Short Cuts (1993)
Für Momente kreuzen sich Lebenswege in Los Angeles: Der Pilot Stormy Weathers sprüht zur Bekämpfung der Fruchtfliegenplage Pestizide über die Stadt. Seine Frau Betty hat eine Affäre mit dem rüden Polizisten Gene Shepard und verlässt ihren Mann. Stormy sorgt daraufhin mit einer Kettensäge für die akkurate Gütertrennung in ihrer Wohnung. Sherri, die Frau des Polizisten, lebt ihre unausgefüllten Sehnsüchte im heftigen Klatsch mit ihrer besten Freundin Marian Wyman aus. Marians Mann, der gestresste Chirurg Dr. Wyman, hat gerade einen Patienten verloren: Casey Finnegan. Der Junge lief kurz vor seinem siebten Geburtstag vor das Auto der Kellnerin Doreen Piggott. Doreen versöhnt sich an diesem Abend mit ihrem Mann Earl und hofft auf eine bessere Zukunft, obwohl er seinen Alkoholismus noch nicht ganz überwunden hat. Im Krankenhaus trifft der Nachrichtenmoderator Howard Finnegan, Caseys Vater, erstmals nach Jahren wieder seinen eigenen Vater Paul...
