A man and a woman love each other, like for the last time. Until the next. In just a few minutes and even lesser words, we are confronted with a short story which repeats itself three times a year, during seven hours.
Outsider Sophie or Ina Litovski, as she prefers to be called, feels ignored by her lethargic mother with whom she lives in a small apartment. Tonight she'll play her violin at the school concert and she decides to make this the turning point in her life.
Twelve-year-old Simone feels painfully disconnected from the world after witnessing the brutal death of her mother. Simone, a solitary multimedia artist in her twenties, is struggling to control her crushing panic attacks and keep her day job in an underground parking lot. And Simone, a sixty-year-old physicist, is giving a conference on the nature of time. The three Simones' lives are intertwined in a labyrinthine meta-world where timeframes overlap, characters multiply, and storylines repeat and expand. But, for all its shuttling forward and back through time, ENDORPHINE remains grounded in the Simones' inner lives — it's an artistic examination of scientific phenomena that also poignantly explores how people deal with trauma.
An emotionally immature underwater photographer returns home to an affair with his best friend's deaf girlfriend and unresolved issues with the wife he left six months before.
Through an immigrant cab driver, our world collides with a nervous filmmaker, a lawyer whose new breasts her ex-boyfriend wants to see, a mystery man, a gay man who might or might not have AIDS, and a birthday girl who got stood up. It is a mixture of laughter and sadness, all floating on a sea of philosophy.
A nurse working in a center for the disabled is confronted to his principles when he's asked to accomplish a particular task.
