The Lake House (film)
The Lake House is a 2006 American romantic drama directed by Alejandro Agresti and starring Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock and Christopher Plummer. It was written by David Auburn. The film is a remake of the South Korean motion picture Il Mare (2000). The story centers on an architect living in 2004 and a doctor living in 2006. The two meet via letters left in a mailbox at the lake house they have both lived in at separate points in time; they carry on correspondence over two years, remaining separated by their original difference of two years. For Alex the time goes from 2004 to 2006. For Kate the time goes from 2006 to 2008.
This film reunites Reeves and Bullock for the first time since they co-starred in Speed in 1994.
Plot
In 2006, Dr. Kate Forster (Bullock) is leaving a lake house that she has been renting in Madison, Wisconsin to move to Chicago. Kate leaves a note in the mailbox for the next tenant to forward her letters should some slip through the system, further adding that the paint-embedded pawprints on the walkway leading into the house were already there when she arrived.

The Lake House
by: Hidden In Plain ViewLooking down, all the lights are blinking in my head.
We're almost done,
And it's too cold to go out off into the unknown,
That I once called my home.
It's been so long.
And every moment bleeds into one, bleeds into one.
We're all falling apart, falling apart
We are.
I sat down to the seat, I'm shaking.
Held on by my fingernails breaking off.
In the air, I'm alone.
My thoughts I know,
Cause I can't keep my head up off the wheel.
My eyes awake I'm
Every moment bleeds into one, bleeds into one.
We're all falling apart, falling apart
We are.
So count on me for a lifetime of shame.
Am I home?
Count on me to bleed it into one.
I'll get myself back home.
