Spoilers ahead
Stanley Sweetheart is an aspiring filmmaker and a junior at Columbia University who recently moved to New York City from a wealthy California background. His father is dead, his relationship with his mother is distant, and his family is running short on money. He lives alone in a cramped Manhattan apartment on the Upper West Side, right across from a noisy construction site, with what feels like no real friends to lean on. Bored with lectures and hungry for a sexual outlet, he drifts into fantasies about a beautiful blonde classmate and, one night, stumbles into a local bar where a talkative hippie named Barbara has just reinvented herself as Shayne. A one-night stand with Barbara sparks a complication-filled connection, and Stanley’s eyes soon drift toward Barbara’s striking roommate, Andrea.
