    Rita Wilson's song for 'A Man Called Otto' continues conversations she couldn't let end

    Rita Wilson attends the London photocall for "A Man Called Otto" at The Corinthia Hotel on Dec. 16, 2022, in London.

    Rita Wilson had a "visceral feeling" watching the gentle Swedish comedy "A Man Called Ove," in which a curmudgeonly widower's plans for suicide are derailed by the lives of those around him. As she has expanded her career beyond acting, she has found more ways to express what she's driven to explore; she knew she had to develop an American remake starring her husband, Tom Hanks. But when director Marc Forster suggested Wilson contribute a song to "A Man Called Otto," she didn't write about how nice it is to have friends, or that we all have something to live for.

    She wrote about the continuing relationship we have with those we love who are no longer here.
