From the creators of You Can Heal Your Life: The Movie comes a compelling portrait of three modern lives in need of new direction and new meaning. In his first-ever movie, Wayne Dyer explores the spiritual journey in the second half of life when we long to find the purpose that is our unique contribution to the world. The powerful shift from the ego constructs we are taught early in life by parents and society—which promote an emphasis on achievement and accumulation—are shown in contrast to a life of meaning, focused on serving and giving back. Filmed on coastal California’s spectacular Monterey Peninsula, The Shift captures every person’s mid-life longing for a more purposeful, soul-directed life.

40-летний Энди Стицер добился в жизни многого. У него непыльная и хорошо оплачиваемая работенка в магазине по продаже электронной бытовой техники, хорошие друзья, а также милая квартирка, в которой находится гордость Энди — коллекция игрушечных героев и комиксов. Однако его жизнь лишена простых человеческих радостей, которые доступны большинству людей его возраста. Дело в том, что у Энди никогда не было секса. Его приятели и коллеги относятся к этому по-разному. Одни считают Энди чудаком, другие же лезут из кожи вон, чтобы помочь ему наверстать упущенное. Но все напрасно. Ничто не может заставить их друга расстаться с девственностью, пока он не встречает 40-летнюю Триш, мать троих детей. Друзья Энди начинают с нетерпением ждать «счастливого события», однако вскоре они с ужасом узнают, что новоявленная парочка решила построить свои взаимоотношения на полном отказе от секса.

A once-powerful, but now ailing movie director nears the end of his life. As he awaits death, he slips into a "dream" and is shown three "snippets" of the movie of his son's life. At first suspicious, then curious, and ultimately captivated, he watches his son's growth from mid-teens to mid-thirties as the son pursues his life-long love, Isabelle. The two constants through these snippets are his pursuit of Isabelle and the imagined voice of his father, telling him that he is worthless and unwanted. It is not until the story reaches its conclusion, that the old man discovers the surprising truth about his son and himself.

Based on an Edgar Allan Poe story, this film tells the grimly comic tale of a bad-tempered old man (Howard Hesseman) who cheats death, only to go on tormenting the living. When a medical experiment leaves the grouch hovering between life and death (and able to describe the world beyond), things get tricky for his daughter (Jessica Capshaw) and her beau (Neil Patrick Harris, of "Doogie Howser, M.D." fame), who can't get their hands on his estate.
