Things fall down. People look up. And when it rains, it pours.

On one random day in the San Fernando Valley, a dying father, a young wife, a male caretaker, a famous lost son, a police officer in love, a boy genius, an ex-boy genius, a game show host and an estranged daughter will each become part of a dazzling multiplicity of plots, but one story.
Magnolia keeps every mind human — it fights its subject at zero distance. The story fights on E8 of the E0–E14 reality ladder.
Films fighting at the same level of reality, about the same things.
