In The Place Beyond the Pines, Ryan Gosling played the character of Luke, while Eva Mendes played Romina. The film revolves around Luke, who is a motorcycle stuntman, and his ex-girlfriend Romina. Luke discovers from Romina that he has a young son with her, Jason, and, to support them, sets off a chain of life-changing events.
