There are two lost souls, the woman is a con-artist in L.A. The man is a a puppeteer in San Antonio. They have the same dream linking each other. He travels to L.A. to find the woman he has become obsessed with. She resists, afraid of his kooky ideas until she travels with him to San Antonio and meets his wise grandmother. This is the story of two desperate people linked by "fate" and it gets increasingly interesting as it rolls along.
Rosalyn believes there are two things she always wanted to believe in but didn't dare. One is that there was one man out there somewhere who was made just for her. The other is that she just might deserve him. Fletcher believes that he has this terribly archaic notion that art should be about beauty and passion and well, redefining an imperfect world in a perfect way. Rosalyn and Fletcher see each other in dreams and now they just need to find each other in real life? The problem is, will this really work?? 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

Special Note: The stone crafter story that Fletcher tells to Roz is a local legend about La Ventana de Rosa (the Rose Window) at the Mission San José in San Antonio. Filmed in San Antonio and San Marcos Texas and Hollywood, Los Angeles California.
Mistake: Fletcher McBracken, after loosely and raggedly cutting out a women's picture, goes to throw it in a basket and when it lands in the basket the cut out picture is perfectly and roundly trimmed right up to the image of the women.
