A very interesting movie showing the different lives of people as they gather for the funeral of, what would appear to be, the center of their Constellation. Told in small stories one at a time of each character seem to be reasons why they have not, and why some do not, choose love in their life now. I feel most for the man who has arranged the gathering at the woman's request. A white man who loved a black woman in Alabama in the 40's and 50's and could not show their love because of the times they lived in and the place they lived. His is one of great regret at not taking this woman for wife no matter what the world thought. I'm sure there are many stories of beautiful love that got wasted in a time they lived in, what religion and class told them, it is tragic that these things happened. True love, a meeting of souls happens so rarely to let it pass, to not act on it is the greatest waste of what life has to offer.
