From Quiz Arrival

Answer: Beginnings and endings

The film opens in Louise's lake house at dusk. "I used to think this was the beginning of your story," we hear her say, as if she were speaking to her daughter. "Memory is a strange thing. It doesn't work like I thought it did. We are so bound by time, by its order." The film cuts to images of Louise with her daughter, Hannah. We see Louise in a hospital bed, cradling the newborn Hannah. Someone - out of focus - picks her up but she cries and fusses. "Okay, come back to me," Louise says with a smile. "Come back to me." Next, we see Hannah as a child, dressed as a cowgirl and playing with Louise in the yard. "I remember moments in the middle," Louise narrates, as we see Hannah whispering "I love you" to her mother as she tucks her into bed. The film then cuts to Hannah as a teenager shouting "I hate you," before showing a sequence of quick scenes: the teenaged Hannah sitting in a hospital bed, Hannah being examined by a doctor, the doctor outside in the hall talking to Louise, who breaks down in tears. "And this was the end," Louise narrates. We see her leaning over a now bald Hannah in her hospital bed and sobbing as she says, "Come back to me. Come back to me." The scene fades to black as we see Louise walking slowly down the hospital hallway, alone. "But now I'm not so sure I believe in beginnings and endings," Louise continues narrating. "There are days that define your story beyond your life. Like the day they arrived."
