Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Emile Brockton enjoys TV, chicken pot pies, and...well, not much else. His life has become a meaningless procession of banal activities that prompt him to spice things up the only way he can devise: by killing himself. However, the road to suicide is filled with many distractions, and these create the ultimate conundrum for Emile.

“TV can't solve all your problems. Sometimes you have to try movies.”
