Sleepless in Seattle

Sam is the primary character of Sleepless in Seattle lives in Chicago and works as an engineer. After his wife died, he and his little son Jonah relocated to Seattle to begin a fresh life and to heal the sorrow of loss. Sam, on the other hand, couldn't get rid of the vision of his past lovely woman, and his nostalgia became stronger and stronger. Jonah contacted the radio station on Christmas Eve to tell them about his family history and his wish to locate his father a new wife (see trailer).

Thousands of ladies from all around the country listened to the boy's sobbing. Soon after, more than 2,000 phone calls and letters poured into Sam's father and son's home. But Sam was unconcerned, and he told his son not to waste any more time on it. Jonah still reads the letter every day, and the young woman Annie's letter piques his attention. The strong love that Jonah has for his father has brought Sam and the youngster great joy. Sleepless in Seattle is delicate and simple, like a pleasant and loving lullaby, leaving spectators with a lasting impression of the importance of father-son love, of holy family connection.
