Paris-Manhattan 2013

In the enchanting world of Alice Ovitz, a Jewish pharmacist, her life is deeply intertwined with the whimsical narratives that flow from the mind of Woody Allen. Loneliness has become a steadfast companion in her daily routine, echoing the emotions portrayed in the beloved films that have shaped her early years. A striking reminder of her admiration hangs above her bed—a large poster of the legendary filmmaker, whose poignant phrases have woven themselves into the fabric of her nighttime reflections.

As the years drift by, Alice finds herself standing at a pivotal junction, wrestling with the challenges of adult life. The family pharmacy, a legacy from her father, serves as both a refuge and a reminder of tradition, while her sister’s marriage to the man who once held Alice’s heart thrusts her into the realm of what could have been. The once-celebrated poster continues to gaze down upon her, a faithful witness to her solitary journey.

With her thirtieth birthday fast approaching, Alice’s family takes it upon themselves to play matchmaker, introducing her to potential suitors Vincent and Victor. As she meanders through this turbulent chapter, her thoughts remain anchored in the values that have guided her life. Just as she starts to contemplate her future, an unexpected twist of fate occurs—she encounters none other than Woody Allen himself while wandering in the romantic streets of Paris.

In a remarkable meeting that feels almost like destiny, Alice stands before the real-life Woody Allen, whose insights resonate with her deeply personal struggles and aspirations. The wisdom he shares reflects the very choices Alice has been weighing, serving as a poignant reminder that sometimes, the universe aligns in mysterious ways to steer us toward our true paths.
