"The Five People You Meet in Heaven"
Aging handyman Eddie (Jon Voight) dies himself while saving a small child from death. Soon after his final breath, he enters the pearly gates and is reunited with a quintet of people who played important roles in his life. Each dweller of heaven recreates a crucial event from Eddie's time on earth in order to answer his life's most troubling questions and give meaning to the tragedies he encountered, such as the early death of his beloved wife, Marguerite (Dagmara Dominczyk).
