Harold Crick is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agent and lives a solitary life that he strictly schedules by his wristwatch. On the day he is assigned to audit an intentionally tax-delinquent baker named Ana Pascal, Harold begins hearing the voice of a woman narrating his life. When Harold’s watch stops working and he resets it using the time from a bystander, the voice narrates that this action will eventually result in Harold’s death. Harold consults a psychiatrist who recommends him to a literary expert if he believes there is a narrator. Harold visits Jules Hilbert, a literature professor, who initially dismisses Harold. However, he recognizes omniscient narrative devices in what Harold claims the voice said and is intrigued. He advises Harold to identify the author and determine if his story is a comedy or tragedy.Stranger Than Fiction 2006 Movie Download.
As Harold audits Ana he develops an attraction to her, but when he obliviously rejects a gift of cookies because it could be considered a bribe, he takes it as a sign he is in a tragedy. Jules tells Harold to spend the day at home doing nothing, and Harold’s living room is destroyed by a demolition crew that went to the wrong building. Jules takes such an improbable occurrence as proof that Harold is no longer in control of his own life, and advises he accept whatever destiny the narrator has for him and enjoy the time he has left.
Harold takes time off work, takes guitar lessons, moves in with his co-worker Dave, and starts dating Ana. Believing Ana loves him, Harold re-evaluates his story as a comedy. While meeting with Jules, Harold sees a television interview with author Karen Eiffel and identifies her as the narrator. Jules, an admirer of Karen’s work, warns that all of her books end with the protagonist dying.
