Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Sliding Doors


This is a very interesting plot. Helen (Gwyneth Paltrow) lives in London. She is living with a man who is cheating on her with his ex-girlfriend. She gets fired from her job and as she is going to catch the train back home, the movie splits into two different movies. The one where Helen misses the train and continues to live unknowingly with her unfaithful lover and the second part of the movie, where Helen arrives home unexpectedly, catches her boyfriend with his lover and moves out.

This movie goes back and forth between these two different lives she could be living. One moves on and finds a new love....the other gets a second job to help support the loser boyfriend.
This continues until one night, Helen in both lives ends up in the hospital.
One of her parallel lives dies. The other Helen that lives seems to have some kind of memory of things that happened to her parallel self.
