Gilda is terminally ill. Her only wish is to die without pain, and as all her suicide attempts comically fail, she decides to seek professional help.
Ruby Sparks
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.
