Beginners!

Beginners is a 2010 American drama film written and directed by Mike Mills. The movie is about Oliver (Ewan McGregor), a man who is shattered by the news of his father's terminal illness and also by the revelation of his homosexuality. Not only does his father (Christopher Plummer) confess to him that he was gay throughout his married, but also introduces him to his new young boyfriend. 


In the midst of all this, Oliver meets a girl and discovers romance in his life. 


The movie is primarily based on the life a man who deals with different problems--in the present and his past--and how he holds on and brings himself together with the support of this girl who is like a ray of hope in his life. 

Beginners really moves you though it does not slip in to an over-sentimental zone. It explores different relationships and the emotions involved in them.

Plummer received a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for his role.

Catch this one.
