Everyone is love-crazed in this delightfully quick-witted romantic comedy, Puccini For Beginners. Allegra Castiglone: our dashing, adorable heroine is by far the most commitment phobic person. Her lesbian lover dumped her because she couldn't settle down and say, "I love you." Just as she's drowning her sorrows in a giant slice of Camembert, in walks Phillip, a dapper Columbia University Professor who, against her better judgment, lights her fire. Kicking and screaming, she launches an affair with heaven forbid - a man! Meanwhile, she falls into bed with the irresistibly gorgeous Grace, a recently single, straight woman, of all things. While juggling two romances that are advancing way too quickly for comfort, Allegra lands in hot water that boils over into an explosive, cathartic climax for all.
