Plot – Dan, a frustrated writer from London, randomly bumps into Alice, who's just arrived from America to start a new life. Their love story is an opportunity for Dan to learn from Alice's experience to write a novel. However, Dan falls in love with Anna, a fashion photographer who has to capture him for his book's cover. Anna marries Larry, a beautiful and self-confident dermatologist, who is interested in Alice. The competition between the two men becomes more important than their relationships. The events of the four characters show an analysis of modern relationships, in which egoism wins over altruism.
