Details

A semi autobiographical story based on the relationship between composer Marvin Hamlisch and lyricist Carole Bayer Sager. The story of Vernon Gersch, a neurotic and successful composer with a host of awards. He is paired up with the lovably eccentric Sonia Walsk ­ a young lyricist who is a hopeless time-keeper and dresses in cast off theatre costumes. The unlikely pairing seems destined to falter before it begins; can Vernon's egotistical bachelor lifestyle cope with Sonia's ex-boyfriend and her multiple personalities? As their working relationship grows, however, so do their feelings for each other, and romance blossoms.
