Wristcutters: A Love Story -- Zia (Patrick Fugit) cuts his wrists and enters a bizarre afterlife reserved for suicides.

Mystic River -- Three friends (Sean Penn, Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon) who grew up in working-class Boston drift apart after a terrible tragedy. Years later, brutal events reconnect them.

Zia (Patrick Fugit), distraught over breaking up with his girlfriend, decides to end it all. Unfortunately, he discovers there is no real ending, only a run-down afterlife that is strikingly similar to his old one, just a bit worse. Discovering that his ex-girlfriend has also "offed" herself, he sets out on a road trip, with his Russian rocker friend, to find her. Their journey takes them through an absurd purgatory where they discover that being dead doesn't mean you have to stop living.
