Calvin is a young novelist who achieved phenomenal success early in his career but is now struggling with his writing – as well as his romantic life. Finally, he makes a breakthrough and creates a character named Ruby who inspires him. When Calvin finds Ruby, in the flesh, sitting on his couch about a week later, he is completely flabbergasted that his words have turned into a living, breathing person.

A tender, imaginative exploration of love and creation, this film feels like a whimsical, bittersweet dream. It's a charmingly introspective journey into the complexities of relationships and the power of authorship, wrapped in a unique, slightly melancholic magic realism that lingers long after the credits roll.
