May is a 2002 American psychological horror film written and directed by Lucky McKee in his directorial debut. Starring Angela Bettis, Jeremy Sisto, Anna Faris, and James Duval, the film follows a lonely young woman (Bettis) traumatized by a difficult childhood, and her increasingly desperate attempts to connect with the people around her.
May Dove Canady is an awkward, lonely young woman, who suffered a troubled childhood due to her lazy eye. She has very few social interactions, her only "true friend" being a glass-encased doll named Suzie made by her mother and given to May for her birthday with the adage "If you can't find a friend, make one." May works at a veterinary hospital, assisting with surgeries. Her optometrist fixes May's lazy eye, first with glasses, then with a special form of contact lens. As May attempts to be more social, she becomes friends with Adam, a local mechanic. She has a fixation on his hands, which she considers to be the most attractive part of him, and they start dating. Meanwhile, May's lesbian colleague Polly begins to flirt with May. One day while feeling especially low, May remarks that Polly has a beautiful neck. They become friends and Polly gives her pet cat Lupe to May, ostensibly because of her "bitch" landlord.
When the cold air finally thaws it’s a cure-all for depression
December took my happiness with such ease and aggression
When I’m finished packing up I’m gonna head out to the coast
The oxygen I’ll breathe in isn’t the same air that I know
The sun collapses eyelids leaves a crack across your mouth
Like summer slapped your face and just said, “Shut the fuck up now!”
Forget the place that I have been
The second I take it all in
Come this May
I dig my hands into the sand and watch them wash away
Sweet breeze I’m sold
Anticipation made an enemy inside of me
Leave me alone
Looking back on it now my sweat still beads ice cold
Like a refreshing reminder to my skin of nights old
My only innocent pleasure, a simple change in the weather
Just keep the senses on defrost and trust that the five know
It’s here the flower season
Windows down it’s hard to believe I’m breathing
Sunlight eclipses night
Mercury conquers height on the Fahrenheit
And I found out this way
The year doesn’t start ‘till the first fucking day of May
The rich rich sunlight thaws my heart and soul
And I’m not cold
Come this may/Come this may
The equinox came and some may say
We’re like a preheating oven ‘till the end of May
An old man lost his breath today but
