 A magical-realistic fairytale wrapped around a prophetic one-hundred-year-old patriarch, an eccentric flamenco dancer, a man dying of nostalgia, and two childhood friends cursed to fall in love with the same women for the rest of their lives. All Don Baker wants is a place of his own away from his over-protective mother. Don s been blind since birth, but that doesn t stop him from setting up in a San Francisco apartment and making the acquaintance of his off-the-wall, liberated, actress neighbor Jill. Don learns the kind of things from Jill that his mother would never have taught him! And Jill learns from Don what growing up and being free is really all about.
