And it is Raymond's big heart that will ultimately help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one.

When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk, the three become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living.
