Synopsis
Jacob Monger, a social worker at a hospice, has just been through a painful divorce and is having his two young daughters overnight for the first time. He is eager to succeed with his visit, but he must also attend to Tony, a hospice patient and Vietnam Veteran, who has a penchant for collecting records and playing Mozart’s The Requiem. Tony is actively dying and is trying to settle unfinished business with his own children. Jacob’s efforts to help his patient make peace with his situation before his death are made more difficult by the Arch Angel Gabriel, who is having his own qualms with his Father. As punishment for disobeying Him, Gabriel is confined to the magical heavenly chariot of Ezekiel, whose tires he must constantly replace with the souls of humans—those who have been errant fathers—to keep it running. Jacob must care for Tony while keeping Gabriel at bay. At the same time, Jacob discovers through his conflicts with Gabriel what parenthood is all about, and his insights strengthen his relationship with his young daughters. During this journey, Jacob contemplates his own feelings about the end-of-life against the history of the Requiem and its dramatic origins.
