"Everyone and everything is interconnected in this universe. Stay pure of heart and you will see the signs. Follow the signs, and you will uncover your destiny." -Jeff

I like this film for lots of reasons. First, Jeff reminded me of many friends I have who are perpetually struggling to figure themselves out but have hearts of gold. Second, it is a fun and subtle take on age old questions of fate and destiny. Nothing and everything seems to happen in this short tale. It is funny and poignant and seems very real.
