"Where Dreams May Come"
Director: Vincent Ward

One of Robin Williams' best roles.
A story about life after death. The entire family of the protagonist ends up in the afterlife, and the soul of his wife, who committed suicide, ends up in hell. Chris (that's the name of the main character) decides to follow his wife to a place from which he can never return. Death is something that is constantly present on the screen and this, of course, does not make the heavy feeling go away.
