Allissandra, a disconsolate muse, cannot get over the fateful death of her favored composer and lover. In her grief she can only inspire dreadfully depressed artists and she neglects the ones who depend on her. Especially two novelists, husband and wife, who are so frustrated and disoriented by being blocked that they commit adultery -- with each other. Then Allissandra, with the help of her friends, the goddesses Fame and Fortune, Cause and Effect, and in defiance of Time, Boredom, and Irony, addresses her feelings of powerlessness by coming up with a scheme to make the goddess Fate fall in love with a mortal man.

Shooting in May, 2003.
Jill, a sociologist who is a professor at Columbia,
has written a book about adultery in America.
When she appears on Hank Pulley's talk show to
promote her book, Hank (Gordon Elliott) surprises
her by introducing her to the wives of two men
with whom Jill had affairs. Shocked and humiliated,
Jill decides to use her resources as an educated
intellectual to fight back and lures Hank's show
into doing an investigative program on a subject
Hank should never have touched.
Written by Michael Bergmann.

In postproduction.
A period piece, set in 1988. As the Berlin Wall wobbles before falling, a Manhattan psychoanalyst and marathon runner, Annie Rose, goes on a journey in which the quest for personal freedom, freedom from the tyranny of the past, and political freedom become metaphors for one another. Five of the central characters in this film are pyschoanalysts. We are consciously aware of the the fact that 20% of the cast, 50% of the screenwriting team and the editor are also psychoanalysts.
