Incarcerated and charged with murder, David Aames Jr. is telling the story of how he got to where he is to McCabe, the police psychologist. That story includes: being the 51% shareholder of a major publishing firm, which he inherited from his long deceased parents; the firm's board, appointed by David Aames Sr., being the 49% shareholders who would probably like to see him gone as they see him as being too irresponsible and immature to run the company; his best bro friendship with author, Brian Shelby; his "friends with benefits" relationship with Julie Gianni, who saw their relationship in a slightly different light; his budding romance with Sofia Serrano, who Brian brought to David's party as his own date and who Brian saw as his own possible life mate; and being in an accident which disfigured his face and killed the person who caused the accident. But as the story proceeds, David isn't sure what is real and what is a dream/nightmare as many facets of the story are incompatible to be all real. The mysterious man in the restaurant may be able to shed some light on David's confusion.

Vanilla Sky è un film del 2001 diretto da Cameron Crowe. Il protagonista della vicenda è David Aames (Tom Cruise), un affascinante ereditiere accusato di omicidio. In carcere, David racconta la sua storia al dottor Curtis McCabe (Kurt Russell). Tutto ha inizio la sera del suo compleanno, quando l’uomo incontra la bellissima Sofia Serrano (Penelope Cruz) e se innamora all'istante, suscitando la spasmodica gelosia della sua amante, Julie Gianni (Cameron Diaz). Insieme a Sofia, David passa la sera più bella della sua vita ma, al mattino, Julie lo sta aspettando in strada. La donna, infatti, lo invita a salire sulla sua macchina e poco dopo decide di gettarsi da un ponte a tutta velocità, cercando di togliersi la vita con l’uomo di cui è innamorata.
Dopo lunghi mesi di coma, David si risveglia in preda all'emicrania e con il volto completamente sfigurato, mentre Julie è morta sul colpo. L’uomo passa molto tempo isolato nella sua casa, fino a quando decide di seguire Sofia e l’amico Brian (Jason Lee) in discoteca, ma la serata è un disastro. La mattina seguente, Sofia lo ritrova sul marciapiede dove si è addormentato, completamente ubriaco. I due vogliono provare ad avere una relazione, ma le cure a cui si sottopone David non fanno che intensificare le sue allucinazioni.
Una mattina, David si sveglia e vede nel suo letto Julie così, in preda ad un raptus omicida, la percuote violentemente e per poco non la uccide. Peccato che Julie, in realtà, fosse solo l’ennesima allucinazione e che David avesse brutalmente picchiato Sofia. Dopo aver avuto altre terribili visioni e aver compromesso per sempre il rapporto con la donna che ama, David capisce che l’artefice di tutti suoi problemi potrebbero non essere l’incidente o le cure troppo invasive. In compagnia del dottor Curtis, David si reca nell'unico luogo che gli permetterà di riceve le agognate risposte, ormai al limite della pura follia.
