Synopsis

Jake, a novelist who is more successful with fiction than with life, faces a marital crisis by daydreaming about the women in his life, past and present. The wildly comic and sometimes moving flashbacks played in is mind are interrupted by visualizations from actual females. Jake's women include a revered first wife who was killed years earlier in an automobile accident, his daughter who is recalled as a child but is now a young woman, his boisterous and bossy sister, an opinionated analyst, his current wife who is on the verge of leaving Jake for another man, and a prosepctive third wife."
