Synopsis

Love. Age. Perspective.

The wisdom learned of experience.

The innocence and impatience of youth.

Thrills.

Romance.

Movies, wine, antiques and rock and roll.

Loves & Hours is the story of Dan Tilney; newly divorced, empty nester, and a man now totally at a loss as to what to do with the rest of his life.

His friends know.

Dan needs a girl.

But will it be Charlotte, beautiful, bursting with life and twenty years his junior?

Or will it be Julia; his life long friend and confidant.

And what about his teenage son who is having an affair with a neighbor?

And his ex-wife who has announced she's gay?

What about his best friend, Harold,—who is going through a mid-life crisis and his daughter, Rebecca, who is seemingly furious with everything and everyone.

In this gentle comedy, life and love are complicated for young and not so young alike.
