Detroit, Michigan, 1963: Bob Ivanovich is a young boy, who prays one night for a circus in his backyard the next day after school. After school the next day, he runs home eagerly, followed by his friends. To his disappointment, no circus awaits. Angrily, Bob retreats to his closet in his room, his personal retreat space. Thirty years later, Bob Jones now runs a Los Angeles public relations firm. He is happily married to... Gail , who is pregnant with their first child. Bob is horrified to learn that he has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and might not live to see their baby born. Bob begins to make home movies, to immortalize himself, to be shown after his death to his son, so he'll know who his father was, showing him how to cook spaghetti, how to drive, etc. He also begins to visit a Chinese healer named Mr. Ho , who urges him to listen to his heart, which is calling him to forgive, and that life is always giving him invitations if he would but listen.
