Things We Lost in the Fire

Drama118 min

After her husband is killed in a sudden act of violence, Audrey Burke is left to care for two young children while grief upends the household. Halle Berry is Audrey, who reaches out to the person most closely tied to her husband’s past: his troubled best friend, Jerry. Benicio Del Toro’s Jerry is struggling with heroin addiction and barely holding his own life together when Audrey asks him to move in. As their arrangement grows more complicated, the family leans on someone as damaged as they are, and the loss at the center of the story keeps reshaping every relationship around it.
