Sad Movie chronicles the lives of four very different couples as they deal with love, loss and life, in romantic, loosely interconnected stories.

A 30-year-old firefighter looking for just the right ring for his fiancée; a long-term relationship between a guy who cannot find a job and a wonderful and long suffering woman who is beginning to tire of their relationship; an 8-year-old boy who desperately misses his career-minded mother; a deaf girl with a terrible burn on her face who falls in love with a painter, dreaming of a perfect love.

The tales revolve around fragile matters of the heart, touching human relationships, and the way in which ordinary couples try to cope with the rigors of love, life, and bittersweet romance.
