Amanda is a divorced woman who makes a living as a photographer. During the Fall of the year Amanda begins to see the world in new and different ways when she begins to question her role in life, her relationships with her career and men and what it all means. As the layers to her everyday experiences fall away insertions in the story with scientists, and philosophers and religious leaders impart information directly to an off-screen interviewer about academic issues, and Amanda begins to understand the basis to the quantum world beneath. During her epiphany as she considers the Great Questions raised by the host of inserted thinkers, she slowly comprehends the various inspirations and begins to see the world in a new way.

Johannes reviewed What the #$*! Do We (K)now!? (2004)
An interesting documentary around quantum physics
What the "Bleep" Do We Know?! Is a documentary about the mysterious world of quantum mechanics, neurology, psychology, metaphysics and spirituality. The film consists of interviews, animation and a plot around a photographer (Marlee Matlin).
What I liked about this film is that it gives the basic ideas and principles about the theories and explains it in a simple way with animation (although a little bit too childish). The downside to the film is that it's not very scientific and doesn’t go deeply into any of its topics. The documentary-style approach contains far too much pseudoscience and makes it difficult to distinguish it from the actual science.
This is not a movie to watch if you want to learn anything about quantum physics but it does give good ideas to life itself.
