... The movie features two concurrent storylines. One involving a 40-ish club DJ who's recently left the woman he was married to for 20 years to shack up with a hot blonde. He's apparently conflicted about this. His ex-wife is not over the breakup. She sleepwalks, and keeps having dreams about car accidents and children with Down's syndrome. Also, the DJ is a recovering addict who sees the royal guard from the Beefeater Gin bottles everywhere. (In one scene, early on, he sees him in the crowd at a rave he's DJing. Seriously.)

The other story involves a single mother in late '60s France raising a boy with Down's syndrome. At some point, the boy, who's like 6 or 7, falls in love with a little girl in his class who also has Downs. They become inseparable, literally -- they hug each other and won't let go until they're pulled apart. This starts to anger the mother, who tells her son he can't see the girl again.

The film intercuts between the two stories with fidgety, showy editing, while also throwing in stuff like quick flashes of the Beefeater guy in the background or the DJ and his girlfriend swimming naked in a pool or the ex-wife looking at her former husband and seeing him as he looked as a teenager -- that kind of shit.

Eventually, we learn how these two stories are related: The ex-wife goes to a psychic to interpret her dreams, and is told that, in another life, she was the mother of the kid with Downs. The kid with Downs represents the DJ, and the little girl with Downs represents the DJ's new girlfriend, and basically the lesson is she has to learn to let him go...or something. I'm not sure if the reincarnation thing is supposed to be taken literally or symbolically, but this is all treated as a very poignant message about love and happiness and music.

Really, though, I knew this piece of shit was gonna be horrible during the opening credits, when the DJ fades into the background of an airport terminal as a slow-motion parade of people with Downs march into the foreground. The only good thing about is the woman who plays the DJ's new girlfriend looks good naked, and she's naked in, like, every other scene.
