A cerebral, melancholic examination of romantic failure and depression told through fragmented memories and fourth-wall-breaking analysis, grounded in philosophical inquiry rather than plot momentum.
Depressed and suicidal, thirtysomething bachelor Duncan – determined to find the secret to a healthy, strong relationship, – flashes back to his last five relationships (in the last four years) and considers what caused each one to fail. Based on the novel 'Essays in Love' by Alain de Botton.
