- THE LADY IN THE WATER is a loving contemporary bedtime fable with the power to teach the hearts and ignite the imagination of the child that lives in all of us. The tales focuses on Cleveland Heep (PAUL GIAMATTI), who has been quietly trying to disappear among the residents of the Cove apartment complex. However, on the night Cleveland finds someone hiding in modest building, a mysterious young woman named Story (BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD). She has been living in the passageways beneath the buildings swimming pool. Cleveland soon discovers that Story is actually a "narf" - a nymph-like character from an epic bedtime story who is being stalked by vicious creatures determined to prevent her from making the treacherous journey from our world back to hers. Storys unique powers of perception reveal the fates of Clevelands fellow tenants, their destinies tied directly to her own. They must work together to decipher a series of codes that will unlock the key to her freedom. But the window of opportunity for Story to return home is rapidly closing. Cleveland must face the demons that have followed him to the Cove as the other tenants seize the special powers that Story has brought out in them if they hope to succeed in their dangerous quest to save Story and our world. It is a timeless tale of hope that the Brothers Grmm and Hans Christian Anderson would be jealous of. |
