Synopsis by Clarke Fountain

In this winsome romantic comedy, Andrea has been living a life completely lacking any form of romantic stimulation. He is a middle-aged schoolteacher, and his prospects in that department are dimming. One day, some workmen accidentally knock a hole in his apartment wall, permitting him a good (but concealed) view into the next apartment, which is occupied by an attractive female psychiatrist who is also single and lonely. Instead of doing something straightforward like asking the poor woman out, he jams a video camera into the hole and begins taking his dinners with her image projected on his television. Later, when one of her patients seeks refuge in her apartment, the by-now thoroughly love-struck schoolteacher falls in love with the new person's voice, thinking that it is that of the psychiatrist.
