It's 2003. Thirty-eight-year-old graphic artist Oliver Fields has just lost his father Hal Fields to cancer, after Oliver's mother Georgia Fields pass...ed away five years earlier. Oliver is naturally a sullen man due to his growing up relationships with his parents (his mother who had a unique view on life) and watching his parents' cordial but somewhat distant relationship with each other, but is more so now because of his personal family losses. Oliver embarks on a relationship with Anna, a French actress, hoping that his re-energized relationship with Hal following Georgia's death, and Hal's new outlook on life during that time, will show Oliver how to act in a loving relationship. After Georgia's death, Hal came out of the closet and began to live with a joie de vivre that did not exist before, which included an open relationship with a much younger man named Andy. Oliver's relationship with Anna has other obstacles, including Anna's own vagabond lifestyle and Oliver needing to take care of who was originally Hal's very needy Jack Russell terrier, Arthur. Show More

In the movie Beginners (2010), Oliver Fields, a 38-year-old graphic artist, is dealing with the recent loss of his father, Hal, who passed away from cancer. This tragedy follows the death of Oliver's mother, Georgia, five years earlier. Oliver has always been a melancholic person due to his complex relationships with his parents and their somewhat distant marriage. However, he hopes that his newfound relationship with Anna, a French actress, will help him navigate love and happiness.

After Georgia's death, Hal surprises Oliver by coming out as gay and embracing a more vibrant and joyful lifestyle. He even enters into an open relationship with a younger man named Andy. This newfound joy and freedom inspire Oliver to pursue a loving relationship with Anna.

However, their relationship faces obstacles such as Anna's nomadic lifestyle and Oliver's responsibility to care for Arthur, Hal's former Jack Russell terrier who has high needs. Oliver must navigate these challenges while also coming to terms with his own grief and the complexities of his parents' lives.

Beginners is a heartfelt exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery. Through Oliver's experiences, the film examines the transformative power of embracing one's true identity and the importance of finding happiness even in the face of adversity.
