Alice Ovitz is a pharmacist from a Jews family, who during her early years was introduced to and fell in love with Woody Allen's Woody Allen filmography. Growing up, she strongly desires a relationship, but the only man she ever loved was taken away from her by her own sister. On Alice's bedroom wall hangs a huge poster of Woody Allen, with whom she has long night conversations, and he talks back to her through excerpts of dialogue from his films.
