Wilbur Wants To Kill Himself
The chronically suicidal Wilbur (Jamie Sives - Glasgow Kiss) and his brother Harbour (Adrian Rawlins - Breaking The Waves) inherit a second-hand bookshop in Glasgow when their father dies.
Wilbur survives yet another suicide attempt and goes to hospital, where he meets Horst (Mads Mikkelsen - Open Hearts), a cynical psychologist and his empathic head nurse, Moira (Julia Davis - Big Train). Like Harbour, they believe that Wilbur needs a girlfriend. But even though women fall for Wilbur all the time, they can't get close to him.
In fact, it is Harbour who falls in love with a shy and beautiful, single mother, Alice (Shirley Henderson - Bridget Jones's Diary).
Soon Alice and her young daughter move into the bookshop and little by little the four of them become inseparable. Wilbur starts regaining his lust for life and Alice starts to come out of her shell. Harbour has never been happier, but he carries a deep secret, that threatens to surface.
