Synopsis

Jed and Chloe, in their early 20s, live a very simple life in the city. They love each other, find happiness in the smallest things and plan to get married.
 
One day the death of Chloe's cat triggers an inconsolable sadness and deep confusion for both Jed and Chloe. Chloe's tears keep her home but Jed begins a fruitless search for the meaning of life, hoping he can bring back Chole's smile. Alone at night he sees a tramp, Max, on TV whom he believes may hold the key. Jed visits him in the city dump. The awkward duo start a journey that unexpectedly brings new hope to both men and Chloe.
