“Love Is Within Reach“

“Love Is Within Reach“ is based on a play “Jake`s Women“ by Neil Simon, where two Estonian actors, Külli Reinumägi and Egon Nuter take turns in playing seven different characters. “Love Is Within Reach“ is a hilarious foray into the world of modern relationships. It is a story about desperate search for intimacy and the duality of attraction and repulsion between the two polar opposites, men and women. Is love real or merely a construct of human imagination?

Jake, a novelist who is more successful with fiction than with life, faces a marital crisis by daydreaming about the women in his life. The wildly comic and sometimes moving flashbacks played in his mind are interrupted by visitations from actual females. Jake’s women include a revered first wife who was killed years earlier in an accident, his daughter who is recalled as a child but is now a young woman, his boisterous and bossy sister, an opinionated analyst, his current wife who is leaving Jake for another man, and a prospective third wife.
