Synopsis

A man lands on a woman after trying to throw himself off a bridge in a botched suicide attempt.

On the quiet riverbank, as he attends to her minor injury, he learns that she too was planning to end her life over a broken heart.

An argument ensues over the relative seriousness of their respective losses, the nature of existence and the harmful effects of the essays of biologist Stephen Jay Gould.

Will this unexpected collision lead each of them back to the dark place where they started, or will they start anew?
