Then, a strange and humiliating turn of events gives her the chance to come back into the spotlight.
An enchanting and dramatic short film set in London’s Claridges hotel. As its name suggests, the piece takes us into an ultra-feminine environment where gestures between women are traded in a ritual of opulent beauty.
Nora Wilder (Parker Posey), a single, career woman works at a Manhattan boutique hotel where her excellent skills in guest relations lack in the romantic department. If it is not her loving and dominant mother (Gena Rowlands) attempting to set her up that consistently fail, she has her friend’s (Drea de Matteo) disastrous blind dates to rely on as a backup for further dismay. She's surrounded by friends who are all happily engaged or romantically involved and somehow, love escapes Nora -- until she meets an unusual Frenchman (Melvil Poupaud) who helps her discover life beyond her self-imposed boundaries.

What I wanted to explain in my movie was to show the pain that poeple go through when they are not sure of themselves in a relation. In this way, 'Men Make Women Crazy Theory' focuses on the pain of having to face a person whose love doesn't come up to what you have expected. - Zoe Cassavetes
