Forrest Gump
A man with a low IQ has accomplished great things in his life and been present during significant historic events—in each case, far exceeding what anyone imagined he could do. But despite all he has achieved, his one true love eludes him.
The Sound of Waves
A budding playwright pens a play about heartbreak surrounding a former girlfriend leaving him for a woman. When auditions commence for the lead roles, fate intervenes as the playwright lands the male lead, and his ex emerges as the perfect fit for the female lead.
