The story is about a soldier died in a war. He is about to die, an angel came to him and ask him whether he want to cut his hair. He said yes. So the angel cut his hair, that actually to take his soul from his body but he didn't even realize it. His wife at home waiting for him to return but seem he never come back home. Every time she miss him, she would wear a gown and dance alone. Lastly, the husband come back to her to farewell her.
I don't really remember which year. I guess 1999-2005. It was a love story. Can anyone tell me? Thank you :)

The descriptions match up pretty close to the 1989 movie Always (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096794/) except he wasn't in the war. Stars Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter,
