From Charlie Kaufman the writer of Being John Malkovich and Adaptation comes this hilarious comedy about sexual manners and the perils of conformity. Nathan (Tim Robbins) is a mild mannered scientist with an ambitious mission. After being traumatised as a child by his parent’s obsession with good manners, he is determined to improve the planet by bringing etiquette to the animal kingdom - starting with teaching mice table manners! When Lila (Patricia Arquette) another victim of an unhappy past with a dark secret comes into his life, he falls in love. Together they discover a man who they name Puff (Rhys Ifans) who has been living alone in the wilds since childhood, and Nathan brings him home to be educated, which could be his greatest triumph. But things get more complicated when Nathan’s fetching French assistant (Miranda Otto) tries to snare him into romance, and the consequences are hilarious and unexpected!
