Once again Woody Allen delves into the complex and interconnected lives of his various characters. The film centers around the core family consisting of Alfie (Hopkins), Helena (Jones), their daughter Sally (Watts) and her husband (Brolin).

After Alfie and Helena divorce, he makes an attempt to regain his youth by marrying a former prostitute, Charmaine (Punch). Things get complicated in this relationship as he falls into financial trouble and Charmaine turns up pregnant with questions as to paternity of the child.

Sally is in the middle of a troubled marriage to Roy, a once successful writer, who is focused only on hearing from his publisher regarding the manuscript for his second book. Frustrated, she considers an affair with Greg (Antonio) who just happens to be her boss at an art gallery. She soon finds that her attraction is not reciprocated as he enters into a relationship with a colleague.

As Roy frets over not hearing from his publisher, he spies Dia (Pinto) from his window and falls for her, eventually convincing her to break her engagement to another man.

Woven through the story is the fact that Helena has made a connection to a fortune teller who is guiding her through the choices she has to make in her life.

This film brings a blending of illusion and reality, loves and longing, desires and failures.
