He recently left his wife, Elaine, and is having a tempestuous affair with Anna, an ambitious young journalist who wants to write and publish fiction. At the same time, Scott, a shady American businessman, is in Italy to steal designs from fashion houses. Hating everything Italian, Scott wanders into the Bar Americano in search of something familiar to eat. There, he meets Monika, a beautiful Romanian woman, who is about to be reunited with her young daughter. When the money she has saved to pay her daughter's smuggler is stolen, Scott feels compelled to help. They take off together for a dangerous town in Southern Italy, where Scott starts to suspect that he is the patsy in an elaborate con game.

With her support cut off and her legal costs ruinous, Julia is reduced to working as a maid in the same upscale boutique hotel where she was once a frequent guest. Julia's lawyer, Theresa has secured Julia one final chance to change the court's mind and be reunited with the child she loves. Rick's current girlfriend, Sam is a compassionate onlooker.

Midnight in Paris


Gil and Inez travel to Paris as a tag-along vacation on her parents' business trip. Gil is a successful Hollywood writer but is struggling on his first novel. He falls in love with the city and thinks they should move there after they get married, but Inez does not share his romantic notions of the city or the idea that the 1920s was the golden age. When Inez goes off dancing with her friends, Gil takes a walk at midnight and discovers what could be the ultimate source of inspiration for writing. Gil's daily walks at midnight in Paris could take him closer to the heart of the city but further from the woman he's about to marry.
