Plot summary synopsis and more.
Sliding doors critics consensus.
Pregnancy and losing a baby are plot points.
The plot is based on the difference it makes to this woman s life whether she gets or misses a tube train.
By chance a woman discovers her boyfriend is having an affair at the same time she meets a much nicer guy who s getting divorced.
If not then no amount of shifting back and forth between them can help.
With gwyneth paltrow john hannah john lynch jeanne tripplehorn.
Parents need to know that sliding doors is a 1998 fantasy about finding love featuring two parallel stories.
We see it both ways in parallel.
While the two timelines split with helen missing the titular doors the more important catalyst for divergence is when the helen who caught the train walks in on her boyfriend cheating on her.
A london woman s love life and career both hinge unknown to her on whether or not she catches a train.
Other actors include jeanne tripplehorn zara.
I submit that there is a simple test to determine whether this plot can work.
