Plot Synopsis

Set against the colorful, bustling backdrop of modern-day Manhattan, Prime is a witty romantic comedy about the trials and tribulations of two mismatched lovers. Starring Oscar-nominee UMA THURMAN (Kill Bill: Vols. I and II, Pulp Fiction) as Rafi, a 37-year-old photography producer reeling from a recent divorce, who meets David (BRYAN GREENBERG, television’s One Tree Hill), a 23-year-old painter recently out of college, Prime explores what happens when love at first sight meets the day-to-day realities of an adult relationship. Oscar-winning actor MERYL STREEP (The Hours, Adaptation) portrays Rafi’s therapist, Dr. Lisa Metzger. Lisa, who is working to help Rafi overcome her fears of intimacy, finds out that Rafi’s new lover is -- unfortunately for Lisa -- her only son, David.

David and Rafi must contend with a 14-year age gap, vastly different backgrounds and the demands of David’s traditional mother. A frank look at a modern, urban romance, this film candidly and humorously explores the joy of falling head over heels for someone -- and the struggles that inevitably follow.
