At the heart of this film, is a very simple story about a very complicated relationship between three very different people. People who meet by chance, and who, in less time than it takes to have dinner-- become a “kind of family.†From a structural standpoint, I of course considered “opening up†the movie further, ----“Why not see them go to the deli?†“Why not show Patricia at her gallery?†etc, but every time I tried to conceive the film that way, I seemed to be doing it for the “sake†of doing it----because convention seemed to dictate it. But
in the end, I decided to come to terms with and respect what I think the “core†of this story is: Three people meet, have dinner, and change each others lives forever.
