''Broken Flowers'' is a 2005 comedy-drama film written and directed by Creator/JimJarmusch. It stars Creator/BillMurray. Creator/SharonStone, Creator/JessicaLange, Creator/TildaSwinton, Creator/JulieDelpy, Creator/JeffreyWright and Creator/FrancesConroy co-star.

When his latest girlfriend leaves him, retired computer magnate Don Johnston (Murray) has no greater ambition than to sit around the house. When he receives an anonymous letter from a former girlfriend claiming he has a 19-year-old son he's never met, Don doesn't even think to follow up. It's not until his neighbor, a mystery fan, encourages him that Don resolves to visit the exes who seem the most likely candidates and find out the truth.
