Sound Editor
During the 1980s, uptight Ted Boynton is a salesman working in the Barcelona office of a Chicago-based company. He receives an unexpected visit from his cousin Fred, a naval officer who has come to Spain on a public relations mission for a U.S. fleet. Not exactly friends in the past, Ted and Fred strike up relationships with women in the Spanish city and experience conflicts -- Ted with his employer, and Fred with the Barcelona community.

Director
Maya is a single woman, approaching 30. Her intrusive mother sets her up with a doctor and sends her money every week to use on therapy. The date with the doc is a bust, but Maya gets an idea: instead of using mom's money on therapy, why not take dance lessons? There she meets Sascha, a terrific dancer with a winsome, open spirit. Maya finds herself contriving to talk to Sascha at every opportunity. Soon, Maya knows that in dance, and perhaps in Sascha, she has found herself.
