It starts with shoe salesman Richard (John Hawkes) getting thrown out by his wife and him setting his own hand on fire to entertain his sons. WTF? Right?
He meets and starts up a relationship with video artist and freelance taxi driver Christine (July), while she takes a client shoe shopping. Their relationship is in no way straight forward and often interrupted. They will, eventually, work it out.
Meanwhile, Richard's sons Peter and Robby spend (waste?) their time in an online chat room, possibly mistankenly using the emoticon ))< >((. This, apparently, translates to "pooping back and forth, forever". (But you probably knew that, anyway.) The emoticon prompts a woman to suggest a real-life meeting.
The woman on the chat room turns out to be the curator of an art exhibiton that accepts one of Christine's little videos.
Also, there are two teenage girls giving head to Richard's colleague because they want to know which one of the two is better at it. The guy decides they are equally good.
Strangely enough, all this weirdness is entertaining.
from Roger Ebert's review:7/10
As Richard slowly emerges from sadness and understands that Christine values him, and he must value her, for reasons only the two of them will ever understand, the movie holds its breath, waiting to see if their delicate connection will hold.
