I give this film a: 10 out of 10.

I highly recommend that you guys check this film out for yourself because it's actually really good.

The film is about: Sam, a regular worker at a chocolate factory meets Kate, who owns a library, who widely smiling rejects his advance by saying she is not dating. Sam is a gifted artist and lives with Bill, who we will later know is his father, and Kate regularly visits her mother Tina who lives on her own and suffers from Diogenes' syndrome (in Kate's words, "she is a hoarder"). Kate can't stand looking at pictures her mother has just found and leaves sobbing. Bill has some health problems and smokes, drinks and eats red meat against the advice of his doctor. Kate accepts a coffee with Sam, which they both enjoy, and after a few get togethers which involve family and friends, they kiss, and spend the night together after skating on New Year's Eve. Bill goes on a date with Tina and at the end of a nice dinner, at the sight of Tina's house unlivable condition due to the accumulation of all sorts of objects, he leaves abruptly. Kate decides it is time for emptying again her mother's house. Sam and others help and Sam finds pictures of Kate with a baby boy and another man. After mistakingly throwing in a donation container a box with Tina's items that Kate marked as to keep, she confesses to Sam that her family died in a car accident. One day, Sam comes back home to find his father dead in front of the TV. After a few days, he goes to Kate's house to tell her that he has learned so much from his father going through his things, which he should've known from him when he was alive. He confesses he would hate for her not to know how much she means to him and they fall into a warm embrace and kiss.
