Storyline
Ray Pluto is a detective with a problem due to the loss of his wife and daughter. One day, he is in a fast food place, and due to a pain in his back, he is not able to avoid a mass murderer of six people. A young boy uses his gun and kills the killer. He becomes a loser in the eyes of the police force and public opinion, and his partner convinces him to have a session with the chiropractor Dr. Ann Beamer. A complicated romance between them grows. Meanwhile, at least two other plots happen in the movie involving detective Pluto and other odd characters. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

If you've seen Living in Oblivion or Box of Moonlight, you'll be amazed that this pile comes from the same writer/director. I didn't believe any of this even for a second, nor did I like any of the characters. There are a couple funny moments, but the movie dragged on and eventually went nowhere.
