Plots(1)
Two down-on-their-luck New Yorkers meet at a Greek diner in Manhattan. She's a waitress with a painful past, too hurt to fall in love again; he's a divorced ex-con with a talent for cooking and a big heart, looking for a second chance. While serving an 18-month sentence on a forgery charge, Johnny (Al Pacino) discovers the joys of cooking and classical literature. Upon his release, he is hired by gruff but good-hearted New York diner owner Nick (Hector Elizondo). Also working for Nick is a waitress named Frankie (Michelle Pfeiffer). When Johnny expresses interest in Frankie, she keeps him at arm's length, her mistrust of men stemming from an unmentioned but obviously traumatic experience in her past. Eventually, however, Frankie and Johnny do get together, their curious relationship setting the stage for a dramatic denouement wherein both lovers bare their souls. (Cinemax)
