Er (Simon Abkarian) ist ein gelernter Chirurg, der einst vor den unerträglichen Bürgerkriegsbedingungen aus Beirut floh und nun in England Schnittchen im Partyservice verteilt. Als sie sich auf einer gesellschaftlichen Veranstaltung über den Weg laufen, ist es Liebe auf den ersten Blick.
Dialoge in Versform und eine verspielte Bildsprache machen Sally Potters Kommentar zum Aufeinandertreffen der Kulturen und Geschlechter zum Tipp für künstlerisch anspruchsvolle Romantiker.
In this film, told almost entirely in iambic pentameter, She is a scientist in a loveless marriage to Anthony, a devious politician. He is a Lebanese doctor in self-imposed exile, working as a chef in a London restaurant. They meet at a banquet and fall into a carefree, passionate relationship. But the contempt He perceives as a Muslim immigrant to the UK causes him to break up with She, offering little in the way of explanation, and return to his homeland. She drags his reasons out of him little by little and tries to sympathize. Keenly feeling the loss of his love, She flies to Havana to sort things out on the beach and in the cabarets. She sends him a ticket, but harbors no illusions that He will join her in this Carribean melting pot...
