A short story by W. P. Kinsella, "Lieberman in Love", was the basis for the film.[4] The Oscar win came as a surprise to the author, who, watching the award telecast from home, had no idea the film had been made and released. He had not been listed in the film's credits, and was not acknowledged by director Christine Lahti in her acceptance speech. A full-page advertisement was placed in Variety apologizing to Kinsella for the error.[5]

Plot

At a resort in Hawaii, Joe Lieberman is attracted to a guest named Shaleen, who turns out to be a prostitute. They begin a professional relationship, which continues even after Joe develops a romantic interest in a woman who sells him a condo, Kate, who is married.
