Synopsis – What to Expect from “The Pallbearer”
The Pallbearer tells the story of Tom Thompson (David Schwimmer), a young man in his mid-twenties who is struggling to find his place in the world. He is an aimless wanderer, drifting from job to job and living a life of quiet desperation.
When Tom is invited to the funeral of an old high school classmate, he is shocked to find out that he is the pallbearer. He is even more shocked to discover that the deceased’s mother (Barbara Hershey) believes that Tom was her daughter’s secret lover.
Tom is overwhelmed by the responsibility and is further confused when the mother insists that he take her daughter’s ashes home with him. Torn between his sense of duty and his own confusion, Tom embarks on a journey of self-discovery as he attempts to fulfill his obligations and come to terms with his own feelings.
Along the way, Tom meets a series of colorful characters who help him to make sense of his life. He also meets Julie DeMarco (Gwyneth Paltrow), a beautiful young woman who helps him to confront his past and his future.
The Pallbearer is a coming-of-age story that explores the complexities of relationships, the power of forgiveness, and the importance of finding one’s own path in life. Through Tom’s journey, we learn that life is full of surprises and that we must take risks if we are to find our true selves.
