Plot

Oscar Grubman, a bright and cultured teenager, finds himself surrounded by alluring women, yet his heart belongs to someone unexpected—his stepmother, Eve. Fluent in French and deeply inspired by Voltaire, he views a woman's hands as the most telling feature. As he heads home from Chauncey Academy for Thanksgiving, Oscar reveals to his best friend his ambitious plan: to win Eve's affection. The dilemma of pursuing a romantic relationship with his stepmother sets the stage for a humorous and awkward exploration of love, desire, and complicated family dynamics.
