Arts and Culture / A Festival of New Italian American Cinema
With Elizabeth Reaser, Gretchen Mol, Justin Kirk, Julianne Nicholson.
Samantha breaks up with New York writer and opera aficionado Allegra because of her inability to commit and supposed fear of saying “I love you.” Allegra still loves her ex-girlfriend Samantha, but rebounds with new lovers—a man named Phillip, a philosophy professor, and a woman named Grace.
Allegra tries to keep all her relations secret, thinking that Grace and Phillip don’t know of each other’s sexual involvement with her, nor does she believe that they even know each other. Like a typical complicated opera, Allegra is involved in a humorous love triangle, since Grace and Phillip have just broken up and become aware of the confusing situation.
