David Norris is a congressman from New York who is standing for the senate. He loses the election and before his speech he meets a woman in the Men's room. He meets her again in the bus next day and falls for her. But as he gets to office he finds something that he was not supposed to, he learns that there are people called 'The Adjustment Bureau' who help channel the events in the world according to the plans of the chairman. He learns from them that he must forget about the woman and if he tells anyone what was revealed to him he will be lobotomized. The rest of the film deals with the affair between over the years and the bureau trying to thwart it.
The film is very well acted and shot. Its essentially a love story between a politician and a ballerina in a mysterious setting where there is clash between their happiness with the relationship and their ambitions in life. It is let down by the ending which could have been a bit darker like in 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. Still its worth a watch.
