In this acidic romantic comedy, we meet Allan Felix, a New York film critic with a disastrous love life. Following a traumatic divorce that leaves him overwhelmed, Allan can't stop fantasizing about the iconic Humphrey Bogart. In his mind, Bogart, with his cocky style and cinematic wisdom, serves as a guide in his quest for love and happiness.
As he tries to recover and rewrite his story, Allan faces his own insecurities and a group of friends who only complicate matters. Among them is his best friend, who is enjoying a seemingly happy marriage, and his ex-wife, whose shadow still haunts him. Allan's life takes an unexpected turn when he falls in love with the charming Linda, a free-spirited and charismatic woman who, despite their instant connection, feels intimidated by Allan’s emotional confusion and his constant comparisons with his cinematic idol.
As the dating unfolds with a surreal touch, Bogart's influence can be felt in every decision Allan makes, as he must confront his deepest fears to discover what it truly means to love and be loved. With sharp dialogue and charming humor, this film offers a fun yet melancholic look at the trials of romance, the search for identity, and the eternal desire to relive the glories of the past.
