“A comedy about fear of commitment, hating your job, falling in love and other pop favorites.”
Rob Gordon, a thirty-year-old record store owner, chronicles his failed romances in a bid to unravel the enigma of his romantic misfortune. Through a nostalgic recounting of his "top five breakups," the film blends wistful humor with a sharp critique of personal failings, encapsulating the melancholic musings of a man seeking redemption through the soundtrack of his life.
