The movie has the backdrop of downsizing of corporate America. Main character, who prides himself of being alone, makes living by helping corporate to fire people efficiently and gently.
There is a young girl (of present generation), who believes in relationship, and who had made major sacrifices for the sake of relationship, finds herself dumped by her boy friend, yet continue to believe in relationship. But bit confused.
There is a middle aged man (of previous generation, most likely my generation) who gives damn about relationships (blood or water makes no difference), who avoids permanent commitment by all means. He meets a lady who has similar values, and falls in love. Then of course he finds himself kind of cheated because the lady is already married. He falls back to square number one, but bit confused.
What is relationship? Is it an avoidance of being alone? Is it a processes self discovery? Or finding completeness? Or exploring meaningfulness?
Just like life, the film gives no answers.
Life is a mapless territory. Promoted destinations invariably bring in disappointments.

Keep travelling, you may find the goal or you will get used to the journey. Life is a win-win situation, if we do not try hard to complicate it.
As Richard Bhandler points out “suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem”.
