Writer Statement

This screenplay follows Hugo and Vivian. He is a man who is a leader at a university who is well traveled, well mannered, and is given a great opportunity to work overseas. She is a young spirited, direct, and educated woman with a fighting spirit but naive. Together they meet by happenstance at a university and form a friendship and love amidst good food, opera, symphonies, study groups, photography, while a loving and ever watching loyal Cane Corso named Charlie plays a hand. They learn and lean on each other yet come to grips with their own dreams in life and ultimately the age factor.
