"What is the purpose of life?"


Jed and Chloe are in their early 20’s, they are retarded and 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 an accident triggers inconsolable sadness and a deep confusion in the meaning of life for both Jed and Chloe. Chloe’s tears keep her home but Jed begins a stubborn search for the meaning of life, hoping he can bring back Chloe’s smile and their happiness together. Alone one 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 starts a journey that unexpectedly brings newfound hope to both men and Chloe.
