Random Harvest

Aaron is a struggling young playwright who fact-checks magazine articles to pay the bills. Unusual things are going on in his life. He has been nominated for a Drama Desk Award, causing conflict with his boyfriend. He is developing a strange telephone relationship with the mother of a boy who committed suicide, the subject of an article he worked on recently. And his apartment is being haunted by Greer Garson and Susan Peters, who starred together in "Random Harvest," a 1942 film about an amnesiac and the two women in his life.

Aaron has never heard of Peters, but with the help of his boyfriend, Jimmy, he is soon an expert on her short, tragic life. All that Aaron and Peters seem to have in common is being nominated for awards, but one exchange finally spells out their shared fear of success. Aaron: "But what if everything changes?" Peters: "Everything changes anyway."
