An adaptation of John Irving's novel "A
Widow for One Year". Alternatively tragic and comic, The Door
in the Floor explores the complexities of love in both its
brightest and darkest corners. Set in the privileged beach community of
East Hampton, New York, the film chronicles one pivotal summer in the
lives of famous children's books author Ted Cole (Bridges) and his
beautiful wife Marion (Basinger). Their once-great marriage has been
strained by tragedy. Her resulting despondency and his subsequent
infidelities have prevented the couple from confronting a much-needed
change in their relationship.
Eddie O'Hare, the young man Ted hires to work as his summer assistant,
is the couple's unwitting yet willing pawn - and, ultimately, the
catalyst in the transformation of their lives.
