2 quirky Manhattanites crash into each other cute at an ophthalmologist's office. Peter is a grouchy cartoonist/author whose vision is failing| divorced mother Theresa is also reluctant to plunge into a relationship right now. It's not love at first sight - both have their eyes dilated| plus Peter constantly lampoons women in his work| which book seller Theresa knows well. Loosely based on James Thurber's drawings "The War Between Men & Women|" and Thurber's life| the film features animated sequences.
