About this find

🎬 500 days of summer
(2009 | 1h 37m)

Tom Hansen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a hopeless romantic who believes in soulmates, destiny, and the idea that one person can change your entire life. Then he meets Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel), a free-spirited woman who doesn’t believe in love or relationships the way Tom does.

Their relationship unfolds across 500 days—not in chronological order, but through Tom’s memories of the moments they shared. As Tom becomes more emotionally invested, he starts imagining a future with Summer, while she remains honest about not wanting a serious relationship.

When their relationship eventually falls apart, Tom is left struggling to understand what went wrong. He begins looking back at their time together, slowly realizing that he may have fallen in love not only with Summer, but with the version of her he created in his own mind.

Through heartbreak, nostalgia, disappointment, and self-discovery, Tom learns that sometimes love doesn’t end with finding your soulmate—it ends with understanding yourself and learning to move forward.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Los Angeles, 500 Days of Summer is a bittersweet romantic comedy-drama about love, expectations, heartbreak, memories, and the painful beauty of letting go.
