Val (Jerrod Carmichael) has reached a place where he feels the only way out is to end things. But he considers himself a bit of a failure—his effectiveness lacking—so he figures he could use some help. As luck would have it, Val’s best friend, Kevin (Christopher Abbott), is recovering from a failed suicide attempt, so he seems like the perfect partner for executing this double suicide plan. But before they go, they have some unfinished business to attend to.
日本连续剧《北国之恋》以温情慈爱的笔触,描写家庭亲情之爱,人性之爱。离了婚的父亲带着一对儿女从东京来到充满田园风光的日本北方小岛生活。影片细腻地描写他们从学校走入社会工作,成家立业,生儿育女。剧中人物尽管有着各种不如意的生活经历和自己无法掌控的现实,但他们最终都能战胜所面临的逆境,更加理解身边的人和事。该剧首批81年在日本播出后,便成为家喻户晓的剧目。87年至2002年,又每年一次地用同班创作人员和演员,演出新的剧集。这种近乎纪录片的手法,也是它获得25-30%收视率的原因之一。《北国之恋》被赞誉为“高尚精美的人性戏剧”,在日本多次获奖,该剧剧本还被选为日本高中语言教材,其拍摄地点日本北方小岛后也成为热心观众争相游览的旅游景点。
