Can one rainy day change your life forever? Only Woody Allen can answer that question with his trademark melancholic humor and wise irony. A pair of young, pretty students come to New York for the weekend. She is a timid Arizona native who is supposed to do an interview with a famous film director for her university newspaper. He was born and raised on the Upper East Side and wants to show the girl the romantic New York that she has only ever seen in films. But the events of the day pull them in different directions, introduce them to new people, bring dreams to life and offer temptations that are so difficult to resist in this city — especially when you’re still so young.

At the bottom of the hill, there is an ideal little town, full of pastel-colored houses, green pastures, and joyful smiles. One of the residents thinks that the Addams family doesn’t quite fit into the overall picture, and they decide to declare war on their strange neighbors. But the Addams family values have never been stronger!
