Monsieur Schmidt (2002)
Âgé de 66 ans, Warren Schmidt prend sa retraite et perd par la même occasion tous ses repères. Le brusque décès de son épouse quelques semaines plus tard ne fait qu'empirer les choses. Il se décide alors à entretenir une correspondance épistolaire avec Ndugu, un petit Tanzanien qu'il parraine pour vingt-deux dollars par mois et qui lui sert de confident. Un jour, Warren prend la route vers le Nebraska où Jeannie, son unique fille, est sur le point de se marier. Entre un futur gendre qu'il n'apprécie guère et une vie sur laquelle il jette un regard de plus en plus amer, le vieil homme tente de savoir où il en est. La route promet d'être longue, pleine de rencontres imprévues et de souvenirs...
