Unfortunately, her life takes an unexpected turn when Jack and Emilia lose their newborn daughter.

The Other Woman Love and Other Impossible Pursuits (original title) R | 1h 42min | Drama | 28 October 2010 (Russia) - The story of a woman dealing with her daughter's death while trying to keep her marriage and her relationship with her stepson.

The Other Woman Love and Other Impossible Pursuits (original title) R | 1h 42min | Drama | 28 October 2010 (Russia) - Aspiring Lawyer Emilia Greenleaf (Natalie Portman) thought she knew what she wanted when she went after the sexy, married Senior Partner, Jack Woolf (Scott Cohen) . However, she didn't count on getting pregnant and married, and she certainly didn't plan on having to forge a relationship with her highly strung 5 year old stepson, William..

In Manhattan, twenty-two year-old Harvard lawyer Emilia Greenleaf has a crush on her boss, Jack Woolf, and they have an affair. Jack's marriage is a sham but his son, William, is his pride and joy. Emilia soon discovers she's pregnant, and Jack divorces from his wife, Carolyne, in order to marry her. His son is poisoned against the partnership by his mother, and he is also resented by his stepmother. Emilia, who has issues with her womanizer father, delivers Isabel but three days later, the baby dies. Her marriage begins to suffer and unexpectedly William steps in to help find out the truth about Isabel's death.

The Other Woman Love and Other Impossible Pursuits (original title) R | 1h 42min | Drama | 28 October 2010 (Russia) - An extramarital affair blossoms into a marriage defined by tragedy and hardship in this emotional family drama from director/screenwriter Don Roos (Bounce, Happy Endings). When Emilia (Natalie Portman) met Jack (Scott Cohen), she was the other woman. In time, she became his only woman. But winning Jack's heart was just the beginning. Shortly after attempting to start their new life together by having a child of their own, their newborn dies suddenly. Compounding Emilia's grief over the loss of her child is the fact that her adolescent stepson, William (Charlie Tahan), seems intent on making her life miserable. Somewhere between her sorrow and her hopes, however, Emilia learns that no family is perfect, and that it's our ability to accept those imperfections that makes life worth living. Lisa Kudrow co-stars.
