As she is confronted with the realities of a broken family and an influx of eccentric strangers into her home, Lena is pushed against the boundaries she has set for herself, forced to reevaluate what, and who, is important in her life. Melt is a statement on the nuances of youth on the brink of adulthood, a meditation on the relationships we build and destroy.

The lovers travel to Mont St. Michel, the island abbey off the coast of Normandy, basking in the wonder of their newfound romance. Neil makes a commitment to Marina, inviting her to relocate to his native Oklahoma with Tatiana. He takes a job as an environmental inspector and Marina settles into her new life in America with passion and vigor. After a holding pattern, their relationship cools. Marina finds solace in the company of another exile, the Catholic priest Father Quintana (Javier Bardem), who is undergoing a crisis of faith. Work pressures and increasing doubt pull Neil further apart from Marina, who returns to France with Tatiana when her visa expires. Neil reconnects with Jane (Rachel McAdams), an old flame. They fall in love until Neil learns that Marina has fallen on hard times. Gripped by a sense of responsibility - and his own crisis of faith - he rekindles with Marina after another trip to France. She returns with him to Oklahoma, resuming her American life. But the old sorrows eventually return.

Quotes:

Marina: Newborn. I open my eyes. I melt. Into the eternal night. A spark. You got me out of the darkness. You gathered me up from earth. You've brought me back to life.

Father Quintana: Flood our souls with your spirit and life so completely that our lives may only be a reflection of yours. Shine through us.

Anna: Life's a dream. In dream you can't make mistakes. In dream you can be whatever you want.

Marina: I write on water what I dare not say.

Father Quintana: We wish to live inside the safety of the laws. We fear to choose. Jesus insists on choice. The one thing he condemns utterly is avoiding the choice. To choose is to commit yourself. And to commit yourself is to run the risk, is to run the risk of failure, the risk of sin, the risk of betrayal. But Jesus can deal with all of those. Forgiveness he never denies us. The man who makes a mistake can repent. But the man who hesitates, who does nothing, who buries his talent in the earth, with him he can do nothing.

Neil: My sweet love. At last. My hope. How I loved you...

Marina: Love that loves us... thank you.

Jane: Will you pray with me?::Neil: [voice over] I had no faith. You knew. Were you afraid?

Father Quintana: You shall love, whether you like it or not.

Father Quintana: There is love that is like a stream that can go dry when rain no longer feeds it. But there is a love that is like a spring coming up from the earth. The first is human love, the second is divine love and has its source above.

Taglines: Rebel. Rocker. Lover. Idol. Vanished. In 1964, Eddie Wilson had it all. He had genius. He had vision. He had the hottest rock n' roll band in the country. Then, suddenly one night, his car went off a dark New Jersey bridge. His body was never found. But his dream was never lost. And twenty years later, the mystery of Eddie Wilson begins to unravel.

Quotes:

Frank Ridgeway: Can I help you guys?::Sal Amato: Yeah, tell Tony Eddie and the Cruisers are here.

Doc Robbins: [to Eddie] Are you crazy? We had the money in our hands and you blew it! You blew it!::Sal Amato: Eddie, you're wrong! You're wrong! Now listen to me, I love you! I've known longer than anyone else! But you're wrong! They want "On the Dark Side"! Why are we giving them some damn opera? I don't even know what you're after!::Eddie Wilson: I want something great! I want something that nobody's ever done before!::Sal Amato: Why? We ain't great. We're just some guys from Jersey.::Eddie Wilson: [makes clear] If you can't be great, then there's no sense in ever playing music again, Sal.::[storms off, Joann follows him]::Sal Amato: [to Frank] Blame this on you. It was you! We were doing good till you came along! And you got us all screwed up!

Sal Amato: [Band is at college where Frank graduated from] Hey, Wordman, this shindig tonight. How are we suppose to dress?::Frank Ridgeway: Hey, wait a minute. What is the big deal? We've played at colleges before.::Eddie Wilson: Yeah, sure, we played at "St. Something" down in Delaware and "Fairly Ridiculous" up in Madison, but we ain't never played at no finishing school like this. This is a mistake, we don't belong here. These people are different.::Frank Ridgeway: I'm telling you they're gonna eat us up. They're just a bunch of college kids, no better than you...::Eddie Wilson: [interrupts] Hey! I didn't say better, I said different. You oughta remember that.

Maggie Foley: [On the bridge Eddie wrecked on] The innocence of the 50s was over and so was rock and roll as we knew it. We were entering a new age, an age of confusion, an age of passion, of commitment. Eddie Wilson saw it coming. "Season in Hell" is a total innovation for it's time. It was a signal of greatness yet to come. Eddie Wilson was a step ahead of us and I don't think we've caught up with him yet. Eddie's been dead for almost 18 years, but his music is as alive today as the day he recorded it. For me and for everyone who listens to music, Eddie Wilson lives and always will.

Joann Carlino: There were so many things I wanted say to him, so many things I wanted to ask. But, Eddie and I, we had a deal, we never talked about the future; we thought the present was so fine, why ruin it by planning ahead. But, as Eddie drove off, I knew, I knew it then, it wasn't going to be any future. In the morning, they told me that Eddie was gone, and they hadn't found his body.

Doc Robbins: [about Eddie's album] There's nothing can't be fixed, am I right?::Lew Elson: [to Eddie] This won't fix, this is a disaster! You want to be a poet? Try Greenage Village!::Doc Robbins: Lew, listen, another couple of weeks. We've been working for months.::Lew Elson: Doc, take six weeks. I still wouldn't know what to do with it.::Eddie Wilson: [to Lew, angrily] You want to know what you can do with it? I'll tell you what you can do with it, you son of a bitch!::Lew Elson: Hey, I put up ten grand and I expect something for my money! This is what I've been waiting a year for? A bunch of jerk-offs making weird sounds? You're not gonna see a red penny!

Maggie Foley: Frank, how much influence did Rimbaud have on Eddie?::Frank Ridgeway: Looking for a ghost?::Maggie Foley: [smiles knowingly] Maybe.::Frank Ridgeway: You don't really think Eddie's still alive, do you?::Maggie Foley: I guess not. But what about the coincidence of "Season in Hell"? Frank, what happened to those tapes?::Frank Ridgeway: Hey, look, it didn't work. The record company hated it, they never released the album.::Maggie Foley: Frank, I want to get a hold of those tapes and play them on my show. Let's let them be heard, and let the people decide whether they're any good.::Frank Ridgeway: I don't know where they are. Honest, we'd like them as much as you would.

Eddie Wilson: [to the audience, a few days after Wendell Newton's death] The other day, I buried one of my best friends. He was the best sax player I ever heard. And they tell me I gotta come up here and entertain you people now. I don't think I'll be able to do that.

Maggie Foley: "A Season in Hell", a spiritual and confessional biography. Arthur Rimbaud was a genius, his writings were a quest. A search for perfection, an attempt to find total freedom. At the age of 19, Arthur Rimbaud committed suicide, not of the flesh, but of the mind and the soul. It means he never another word, and disappeared off the face of the earth. He was not seen nor heard from again for nearly twenty years, until he reappeared in a hospital within Marseille on his deathbed.

Eddie Wilson: [singing] The dark side is calling now, nothing is real / She'll never know just how I feel / From out of a shadow, she walk like a dream / Makes me feel crazy, makes me feel so mean / Ain't nothing gonna save you from a love that is blind / Slip to the dark side across that line / On the dark side, oh yeah / On the dark side, oh yeah
