Moonlight Mile

Drama set in the 1970s. Love and death collide as a young man's fiancee dies, and he is left to grieve with her parents while falling for another woman. With Jake Gyllenhaal.

When his fiancee Diane is accidentally killed in a cafe shooting, shellshocked Joe is taken in by her eccentric parents, Ben and Jojo, who want to keep him near as a token of their departed daughter's life. But Joe is harbouring a secret: his engagement to Diane had been secretly broken off months before the fatal shooting so, by the time she died, Diane was no longer the bride-to-be everyone is mourning her as.

1 hour, 45 minutes
