A comedic tale of love teetering on the edge of madness. Martin Lewis finds himself at a standstill after his girlfriend leaves him.

This film was shot in 2001 but was never officially completed, cut, or distributed due to lack of funding. It has now undergone significant changes, featured an entirely new music track, and finally has a negative cut.
