The Varieties of Love Matt has a well-paying part-time job at a funeral home - not exactly a normal pastime for a 17-year-old teenager from New York. But he meets Love at one of the funeral services, just as the bad news in his life keeps piling up. She is an extraordinary girl with a strange name, so lovable, so strong and so mysterious at the same time. Love deals with strokes of fate very differently than Matt, who simply can't cope with the death of his mother. "Forget about being happy ... And above all, forget Love!" he soon tells himself. But it's not that easy, and maybe only Love can bring him back to life from his loneliness.
