(As a person who can obviously eat by the face, he has contracted many crazy characters)
In the film, Sam, played by Depp, is a very special person, people who do not know him well, think that he is a "strange coffee", people who really know him will think that he is a rare genius, but his strange behavior, no one wants to know him, Sam who lives in a relative's house is given as a bet to Bonnie and Joan.
Bonnie and Joan's parents died in a car accident at an early age, young Bonnie has left a very heavy psychological trauma since then, so that he does not have the courage to face the outside world, trapping himself in the safe zone he has planned, Bonnie's sister Joan is versatile, but her mind is not sound, Bonnie has to take care of Joan in every detail, in order to protect her, unwilling to date the girl he likes, and even not allow her to go out, every day he is busy with exhaustion He gradually ignores many of Joan's feelings.
Joan is often quiet and immersed in painting alone, but when she makes trouble, it is definitely a disaster, sometimes she will wear a diving mask to direct traffic on the street, resulting in a large-scale traffic jam in the local area, sometimes she will play with fire at home, almost burn the house, sometimes stubbornly lose her temper with Bonnie, although her mind is not as good as normal people, but she also does not like this kind of strange feeling in the eyes of others, and she is deceived all day long.
On this day, Bonnie takes Joan to a friend party, Joan takes advantage of Bonnie's inattention, and bets with people to lose, must take care of the strange Sam, in an instant, Bonnie collapsed, helpless, he took the two "weird coffee" home together.
A sleepless night, Bonnie worried about how to deal with the two "weird coffee" in the family, but unexpectedly, Sam's arrival brought a long-lost laugh to the family, Sam although illiterate, but he is very talented in acting, love movie roles, magic, clown performances, but people can not accept his exaggerated and inappropriate behavior for the time being, had to summarize it as crazy behavior.
One day, after Bonnie went to work, Sam not only did not cause trouble, but cleaned up the house, so that Joan, who has been in a state of emotional collapse, had a long-lost smile, they are "outliers" and "weird coffees" in the eyes of the world, but for each other, they are the same kind, Sam bakes bread with an iron, Joan wears a mask to direct traffic, these strange behaviors, in their eyes are so reasonable and interesting, the two gradually enter each other's hearts.
And at this time Bonnie met the true goddess of his life, but Bonnie had scruples about feelings, he could not let himself go on a date, there was no way to forgive himself for not taking care of Joan, Sam keenly sensed Bonnie's unhappiness, he imitated the comedy performances of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, two predecessors to make him laugh, at first Bonnie only felt embarrassed, but looked at him did not care about the eyes of others, wantonly focused on his own performance, just to bring laughter to people, Bonnie suddenly understood, Sam is actually very kind, friendly, and talented, and he decides to find a better stage for him to show his talent.
But the next moment, Bonnie learns about Sam and Joan's love affair, can't bear to see Joan hurt, he beat the duck, drove Sam away, he is like the world, Sam and Joan as "outliers", think that the two can not live independently, but he never thought about what his sister really wants, and did not know that Sam has found a job in order to take care of Joan.
In fact, what Joan wants is prejudice that will not be regarded as a "weird coffee" and a relationship that is not disturbed by the world, so Joan and Sam elope, but halfway through, the huge psychological pressure makes Joan collapse, and she is sent to the hospital.
In the hospital, she was devastated and unwilling to see any visitors, including Bonnie, she would rather live alone in this hospital than go home, after a while, Bonnie realized his mistake, he decided to let Joan choose his own life, but Joan did not want to believe his words, until she saw Sam climb to the top of the building, swinging around the window with a "swing", she regained the confidence to live again.
