Love And Other Catastrophes
A day in the life of two film-school students trying to find love and another house-mate.
A warm and witty 90’s screwball comedy about love, fate and other pressing concerns. Mia and Alice have just moved into a warehouse apartment but are still minus a housemate. Mia’s girlfriend, Danni, is keen to move in, but Mia fears commitment.
Mia, who can be a solipsistic bitch (but in the nicest possible way) is obsessed with her favourite lecturer and becomes embroiled in a bureaucratic nightmare as she pursues him to his new department. Alice, a frustrated perfectionist, is four years late with her thesis on “Doris Day as a feminist warrior”. She is looking for the perfect man, but can’t find anyone who fits her rigorous criteria. Feeling the need for a change, she falls for the most unsuitable male possible, Ari, a classics student, part-time gigolo, and the Warren Beatty of the campus. Little does she know she has her own secret admirer, Michael, a shy medical student who is living in the share house from hell, and wants out.
Their search for love transcends the boundaries of the University and their respective disciplines. As the day ends and the party begins, events begin to unscramble in unexpected ways. Omnia Vincit Amor… Love Conquers All.
