500 Days of Summer

Kultkino Movie. Eldorado. Marc Webb's romantic comedy about a man who falls for a woman who doesn't believe in love. Mark (Gordon-Levitt) is an architect earning his living as a greeting card writer.

His boss is a beautiful new secretary, Summer (Deschanel), the pair have plenty in common despite the fact that she's obviously out of his league; but for starters, they both love the Smiths, and they're both fans of surrealist artist Magritte. Before long Mark is smitten. All he can think about is Summer. Mark believes deeply in the idea of soul mates, and he's finally found his. Unfortunately for Mark, Summer sees true love as the stuff of fairy tales, and isn't looking for romance. Undaunted and undeterred by his breezy lover's casual stance on relationships, Mark summons all of his might and courage to pursue Summer and convince her that their love is real.
