Sobre IBD

Imagine a man, aged 44, successful but alienated from self and family, preparing to end his life by jumping in front of a New York City subway train. As he prepares to jump, after much rehearsal, we are given a full view of his internal meanderings. Ready to jump, he admires a pretty woman on the opposite platform. He hears a train -- it is hers -- she preempts him, jumping and is annihilated. He flees the subway, becoming obsessed with whom this woman is who has redeemed him through her suicide. An odyssey follows -- he steals her diaries, is implicated in her murder, and finds love -- finally being released from his suicide.
