Forty-year-old Marco, married to the daughter of the owner of the advertising agency where he works, loses everything overnight because of a whim: having a romantic encounter with Lia, who lures men online to make ends meet, getting them to pay for her expenses and then running away immediately afterwards. Marco feels something for her that goes beyond sex; perhaps he is in love with her. When he asks a nerdy friend for a place to stay, he realises he has a rare gift: he knows how to use words. So he turns it into a lucrative business, becoming a modern Cyrano for lonely people looking for companionship, sex, love, and humanity, searching for someone to connect with. But Lia is still on his mind, and one day he meets her again...
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
