Jonathan, like many teenagers, is used to concealing the pain of growing up behind a witty sense of humor. One day, fate brings Jonathan into contact with a group of teenagers who are attempting to cope with their own teen angst.

After the death of his alcoholic father, Jonathan Breech steals his father's ashes from his brother's house. He drives a stolen car off a cliff in order to commit suicide, but he survives. After this, he accepts an alternative sentence of three months in therapy in a psychiatric hospital, where he joins a suicide group under the supervision of Dr. Figure. He befriends a disturbed Rachel Row (who watched her mother die in an accident) and Toby (who accidentally killed his brother in a car crash). During the treatment, the sarcastic Jonathan changes his behavior and sees the importance of being alive.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Academy Award® nominee Stephen Rea stars in this edgy comedy about a young man who rediscovers friendship, love and the zest for life. Jonathan (Cillian Murphy), like many teenagers, is used to concealing the pain of growing up behind a witty sense of humor. One day, fate brings Jonathan into contact with a group of teenagers who are attempting to cope with their own teen angst - and a doctor (Rea) who can see right through Jonathan's façade. But it isn't until he falls in love with Rachel (Tricia Vessey) that Jonathan begins to discover that life doesn't have to be so crazy after all...although it still helps to have a sense of humor about the wild things that happen in life.—Anonymous
