This rom-dram revolves around three characters. The central figure is only called The Boy...and for good reason. He never grows up and apparently doesn't want to learn how. Lita is the daughter of a business tycoon, and she has found her calling as a singer. Appropriately, the film acknowledges that she is "wise beyond her years." The final link in the triangle is Charlotte, an artist with a face from a Botticelli painting, who does not appear to have much depth or insight into herself or others.
The film is messy in making credible this curious romantic triangle. The main problem is that it was never believable that either Lita or Charlotte would have an attraction or give the time of day to such an infantile character as The Boy.
One of the most interesting portions of the film is when The Boy runs away from both Lita and Charlotte to give up a career in business that was handed to him on a platter and to go in in search of the greater meaning of life by working as a janitor in an observatory. The director of the facility who goes by the nickname of Hypathia in lieu of her real name, Jessica, provides some direction in The Boy's life when she tells him, "You're fired!"
The Boy should be grateful for the precious time he had with both Lita and Charlotte, as well as the good advice provided to him by Hypathia. If there is any message to this muddled film, it might be to count your blessings for the opportunities you have had in life to be with special people even if the relationships do not "work out." And the main takeaway for The Boy is for him to recognize that his true calling in life is to make delicious sandwiches.
