 Definition: 

Second Hand
Richard happily haunts the thrift shops of Detroit for 1950s ephemera to sell at his store, Satori Junk. Then his mother dies, and he must deal with the detritus of her life--a collection of, basically, junk. Not long after, he falls in love with a complicated woman who shares his passion for castoffs but wreaks havoc with his emotions. It`s not until he travels to Mexico, where the Day of the Dead celebrations are in full force, that--and after a long struggle--he finally learns some useful lessons about what`s important in life and what can be discarded.
