This is really touching story happening to a man called Kramer (Dustin Hoffman) and his ex-wife (Meryl Streep) who drops up job after giving birth to her son (Justin Henry). Later she finds that she loses interest in marriage and her husband is not patient to lend an ear to her about fear and uncertainty from life. Ms. Kramer then leaves for California for months and finds back inner need of her. She then moves to New York and gets a job with salary of 31,000 dollars a year.

During the period of her leaving, Mr. Kramer and his son build a profound relationship thanks to Mr. Kramer's patience, taking good care of the kid and reading stories to him every night. Though little accidents happen occasionally and he loses his job for having not getting enough energy for job, he manages to find a one back before Christmas and the lawsuit scheduled on January 9th.

The point is that both Dustin Hoffman and Justin Henry did a fantastic job in acting their roles. Justin was born in 1971 and by the time he acted in the film, he would only a child of about 8 to 9 years old. What a great job he did! He understood the plot, and delivered the emotions that a boy loving their parents. So did two stars of the film Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep. They moved tears from me several times during the 100-minute long film. Fantastic!

Last but not least, the film director Robert Benton is great in terms of many points like exploring meaning of life and the most precious things in life.
