Though outwardly at peace being middle-aged and single, a Jewish woman still places a personal ad in a local newspaper requesting the company of an older Jewish man. This warm, tender romantic drama follows what happens when her best respondent turns out to be a gentile. Until she discovered his religious affiliation, Clara was quite taken with Raul. Though she at first spurns him, she realizes she needs him. Her brother is about to visit her from Boston and she has been lying to him about being in a relationship. Fortunately, Raul goes along with the ruse that it soon ceases to be a ruse.
