An Ordinary Lunacy

Virgil, an aspiring New York artist and nerd, meets Lila, a beautiful visitor with a mysterious flaw. He bumbles his way to her heart, but is handicapped by his phobia of beautiful women, which causes him to have a "kissing reflex," compelling him to hastily kiss a beautiful woman in order to allay his neurotic fears of rejection. He finally succeeds in getting Lila to bed, whereupon she turns out to have a birth defect. His disappointment offends Lila and causes her to run to Paradise Island, where he again pursues her. Finally, after yelling at his mother, Virgil calms down and reaches a point of temporary insanity, whereby he is able to show Lila his caring and generous side by painting her bathroom metalic gold, magenta and green. Somehow it all ends happily. It is a whacky comedy and parable of romantic love.
