Sweethearts is a 1997 American independent film written and directed by Aleks Horvat and starring Janeane Garofalo and Mitch Rouse.^[1] The supporting cast features Margaret Cho and Bobcat Goldthwait as well as a cameo appearance by singer/guitarist Stephen Malkmus of the band Pavement.

Plot

Arliss meets Jasmine on a blind date at a coffee house, but it turns out Jasmine has bipolar, carrying a gun and contemplating suicide.

Jasmine introduces herself to Arliss as "Emily", a fake character she created to pretend she is not her date. She pretends to be somebody else that went to the same coffee shop.

Eventually Arliss discovers that she is his date pretending to be another person and he gets mad. She forces him to stay by holding a gun in front of his face. Jasmine confesses that the gun is for her, because she is going to commit suicide tomorrow morning on her 31st birthday.

The reason why she wants to commit suicide is because she is a manic bipolar depressive and she feels she can't live any longer with the condition and is suffering psychological pain.

In the middle of the drama, Arliss starts feeling love for Jasmine instead of hating her for pointing a gun at him.
