[2] The film stars Morissette as Patrick Lupien, an owner of a sporting goods store who is becoming dissatisfied with the empty consumerism of his day-to-day life and the loss of emotional and sexual intimacy in his relationship with Isabelle (Julie Perreault).

[5] Patrick, a sporting goods store manager, is in his office watching a pornographic film, which features two buxom women and a pool boy.

On his way home, he ogles a pretty blond driving a convertible, and runs into the back of another car causing minor damage.

After dinner, in the hot tub, the neighbour wife shows off her $6,000 boob job, taking off her top so Isa can see how small the scars are and feel how realistic they are.

Back at work, a supplier says he cannot deliver the next season's merchandise until the previous bill is paid.

The next day at work, the mall landlord informs Patrick that he will be raising his rent.

She suggests that she show Patrick a nice ski chalet that she is the sales agent for.

Isa asks Patrick if she should get a boob job, and reminds him that the $4,500 cost of their son's school is due.

He heads to their small trailer, and thinks about reconnecting with his family and friends while jogging.
