In this article i will be talking about how instructions not included is the saddest movie ever. It starts off with a guy named Valentine waking up to a knock on his door. He opens the door and is greeted by this girl named Julie who says she had his baby named Maggie and leaves without question also leaving Maggie with him. Confused, Valentine follows Julie everywhere till they get to the airport. Too late Julie gets on a plane and is never found again. Valentine is confused about what to do. 

So he leaves for Mexico with Maggie to go to the United States and find julie. Valentine can't cross the border legally so he has some help with a trucker dude to smuggle him across the border. After they have crossed they enter a fancy motel where the worker stops  Valentine and proceeds to ask him questions. Valentine is having trouble understanding the workers and the baby wanders off. After talking with the workers Valentine panics as he doesn't see Maggie. 

Valentine hears her but she is close to the pool. Scared that if Maggie gets too close she might fall in and drown so Valentine jumps from a few stories into the pool. He succeeded in falling in the water safely, he gets Maggie and is ready to leave right before he could leave he is stopped by a hollywood director named Frank ryan. Frank is surprised by the fall Valentine took he offered him a job as a stuntman. Valentine accepts and moves in an apartment with Maggie raising her every year until he gets a call from Julie saying she wants to meet maggie. 

What Julie doesnt know is that Maggie has a heart condition where she can die any day. Julie shows up and tells Valentine that she is going to take Maggie away with her. Valentine is not very happy but he proceeds to give her away because he thinks it's the best thing for her. Valentine realizes his mistake and goes after Maggie taking her with him.
