SYNOPSIS

Nora Wilder (Posey) is freaking out. Everyone around her is in a relationship, is married, or has children. Nora is in her thirties, alone with job she's outgrown and a mother who constantly reminds her of it all. Not to mention her best friend Audrey's "perfect marriage". But after a series of disastrous dates, Nora unexpectedly meets Julien, a quirky Frenchman who opens her eyes to a lot more than love. Loosely based on Cassavetes' life, the film explores the ruined relationships Nora goes through. There's the charming older man (Griffin Dunne) who picks her up at a party only to get busted by his pregnant wife. One date (Josh Hamilton) bumps into his ex and causes a scene in the middle of a theatre lobby. And while having a fling with an actor (Justin Theroux), Nora learns he has a girlfriend after seeing the couple on an entertainment show.
