Tom makes it clear right from the start - he wants to commit suicide in a spectacular way.
He's tried and failed a few times. The first scene of the film shows him being rescued from drowning in shallow seas - not very spectacular right enough.
Initially this Scottish comedy seems a bit amateurish, the sound in the first few scenes seems to cut out. But it gradually settles down and the charm of the characters plus the format of 'straight' scenes, acted-out scenes and cartoons really grows on you.
Tom is ordered to do a couple of things - act as a befriender for grumpy old Mr Nielsen (Ray Crofter), and attend therapy sessions with psychologist Dr Watson (Patrick O'Brien).
In his waiting room he meets Eve (Annabel Logan) but doesn't even have enough interest to ask why she's there.
Eve: "I went to a seminar about how to cope with rejection."
Tom: "How did you get on?"
Eve: "They wouldn't let me in."
Although his mood doesn't lift, these people become a big part of his life. Eve goes along with his efforts to find that spectacular suicide. Can he find it or will his new friends bring meaning to his life?
