500 Days of Summer

For Tom Hansen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a true believer in fate and cinematic romance, Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel) is not just a girl; she is his destiny. But Summer doesn’t believe in destiny at all.

This is not a love story, but an autopsy of one, jumping through the sun-drenched memories and rain-soaked heartbreaks of their 500 days together. It is a bittersweet and formally inventive dissection of a modern romance, exploring the vast, often tragic, distance between our idealistic expectations and the messy, complicated truth of who we love.
