* SweetAndSourGrapes: At Kneller's camp, Zia is repeatedly told that he can't perform a miracle, like floating in the air or changing an object's color, unless he stops caring about performing one. Meanwhile, everyone else performs miracles around him because they don't see it as a big deal. [[spoiler: After Mikal leaves, the miracles no longer matter to him, so naturally, he performs one - the same miracle Mikal nonchalantly performed earlier.]]

A quietly charming indie film based on Israeli writer Etgar Keret’s novella ''Kneller’s Happy Campers'', ''Wristcutters: A Love Story'' follows recent suicide Zia (Patrick Fugit) and his journey through a limbo set aside for those who kill themselves. This world is only slightly different from life, [[CrapsackWorld except the color is muted, there are no flowers or stars, and no one can smile]]. After spending some time in this world, Zia meets Eugene (Creator/SheaWhigham), a Russian rock star, and Mikal (Creator/ShannynSossamon), who claims she didn't kill herself and is trying to get back to the living world. The three of them set off into this depressing dimension in order to find Zia's ex-girlfriend, who has also killed herself, and the People In Charge, who have the power to send Mikal back.

* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Zia, Eugene, and Mikal. It doesn't quite veer into LoveTriangle territory since Zia is focused on finding Desiree while Eugene has a crush on Mikal, and later Eugene gets a girlfriend at Kneller's camp while Zia realizes he has feelings for Mik.
