Student:
Following the death of his wife, Arthur Pratt Philip Baker Hall is on the verge of taking his own life. However, just after he had finished burying his wife's ashes at the park, a duckling crosses his path. Noticing that the duckling is all alone, Arthur decides to help it find its flock. Unfortunately, they end up finding the flock as roadkill. As a result, Arthur then chooses to take the surviving duckling back to his apartment, where he bathes and feeds it. No longer on the verge, Arthur is committed to raise and take care of the duckling, which he names "Joe." After being behind on rent, Arthur gets evicted from his apartment. Since the retirement homes refuse to allow any pets on their premises, Arthur and Joe return to the park, where the latter becomes a fullgrown duck. There, Arthur picks up the litter he finds on the ground and offers it to a garbage collector Noel Gugliemi, who informs him that the park is a partlandfill and partconstruction site for a shopping mall. Meanwhile, workers from a septic and sewage service arrive to drain a pond where Joe is paddling on. They try to shoo Joe away, but Joe has trouble commencing as he had never learned how to fly like any other ordinary duck. The workers then start throwing objects at Joe, which causes Arthur to come to his rescue. Following a quarrel with the workers, the fire department, members of the Psychological Evaluation Team, Animal Control and finally the police, Arthur and Joe leave the park for good and set out for a new journey. During their journey, Arthur and Joe cross paths with other random people throughout Los Angeles such as: Norman Bill Cobbs, a blind man on his way to the beach, accompanied by his guide dog Trisha; Leopold Bill Brochtrup, a homeless man whom Arthur gives a pair of socks to; a third man French Stewart who, like Arthur, is also on the verge of suicide but simply because he knows his girlfriend is having an affair with his best friend; and a VietnameseAmerican pedicurist Amy Hill who openly confesses to Arthur that her husband was killed in their native country and that she and her daughter moved to America for a better life. One night, the duo is also randomly invited to a Halloween costume party, where Arthur temporarily loses sight of Joe. The next morning, Joe and Arthur make it to a bridge in which the latter decides it may be best that they part ways. Joe is stubborn at first, so Arthur just walks away. Joe then jumps off the bridge, and quacks in danger upon landing on the creek. Noticing the creek is full of toxic waste, Arthur once again rescues Joe. Arthur apologizes to Joe for abandoning him, telling him Id die without you, Joe. Arthur and Joe finally make it to the beach, where the former allows his bare feet to touch the sand. There, they reunite with Norman and Trisha. The film fades to black as the four of them happily continue walking on the beach in horizon.
