Drive megavideo,Florence Marr (Greta Gerwig), an aspiring singer, struggles to find its place in the world. He works as a personal assistant to the Greenberg family, beginning and ending each day attending to the needs of others. In contrast to the "hectic life of Greenberg in her elegant home in the Hollywood Hills, Florence lived alone in a small study and singing open mic nights.
When Phillip Greenberg (Chris Messina) takes his wife and children on a long trip abroad, Florence has suddenly cost more to herself. She makes occasional visits to their home to check on the family dog to Mahler, and consider Phillip brother Roger (Ben Stiller) who came to Los Angeles to housesit.
Simple and quarantine, Greenberg is intelligent, witty, strong language - and, like Florence, something of a lost soul, he is at a crossroads in his life. He worked as a carpenter in New York after an early career as a musician in Los Angeles cut short. Greenberg claims to "do something" and his most concrete writing letters of complaint and to build a niche for Mahler. Roger tries to reconnect with an old friend and comrade Ivan (Rhys Silence CrossFireX) and old flame, Beth ( Jennifer Jason Leigh), but they have moved their lives, while Greenberg was stuck treading water. In trying to restart his life, Greenberg believes that times have changed and the old friends are not necessarily always the best friends.
After years of living in New York, Greenberg does not drive and finds himself staying with his brother. Her vulnerability soon endears him to Florence, who helps him navigate the Los Angeles and take care of Mahler. What starts as a compliment to the employer to develop an eccentric charm, and surprisingly, a meaningful connection. As Greenberg finds there's only so much "nothing" can do, the beauty of what he clumsily built in Florence, begins to look more like the reason to be happy.
