Wristcutters - A Love Story

From the moment Zia (Patrick Fugit) cuts his wrists he enters a bizarre afterlife where everything is the same, just a little bit worse. A quirky but mundane existence of menial jobs, dingy bars, bad transportation and old jukeboxes, with no sign of redemption and escape.

Determined to recapture the love of his life, Zia embarks on a journey through this absurd purgatory, hitting the road in a rickety station wagon with his newfound friends - the oddly charming Russian rocker (Shea Whigham) and the sexy Ingenue (Shannyn Sossamon) - only to meet up with wonderful Kneller (the multi-talented Tom Waits) who shepherds them through the ultimate version of Utopia.

With unexpected miracles, darkly comic twists and absurdist humor WRISTCUTTERS - A LOVE STORY celebrates how precious and unexpected life and love truly are.
