NL “Mitch” Fikes, a quirky NYC plumber with dreams of grandeur, steals an unused movie script left behind in an apartment by an aspiring screenwriter, Toni (Mary-Louise Parker). To win over attractive women and impress high society, Mitch pretends to be a famous, visionary indie film director looking for his next big star. The fake production gains unexpected momentum when investors and eager actors flock to the project, forcing Mitch to actually make the movie. When Toni discovers the deception, she agrees to keep quiet only if she can co-direct. Pipe Dream (2001) is a charming, witty romantic comedy about ambition, white lies, and the absurdity of show business.

Nubi… gypsy girl of passion… an ill-wind that blows no man good. During a violent storm on a Hungarian estate, a runaway gypsy girl named Nubi seeks shelter with a respectable, wealthy family. Once inside, Nubi uses her hypnotic charm and wild passion to seduce every man in the household—from the young son and the farmhands to the respected master of the house himself. As jealousy, temptation, and scandal tear the family apart from within, the women of the estate must find a way to break Nubi’s dangerous spell.
