This film is a whimsical and comedic adaptation of Dostoevsky’s classic novella, “White Nights,” set in modern day Los Angeles. Fyo – a naive and often ignored man-boy – falls in love with Nastenka, a hot-headed blind girl, after he stops her from hanging herself from a tree because she’s in love with Steve, who’s gone off to Africa to save a bunch of children. Fyo will do anything to be around Nastenka, even if it means reuniting her with her heroic lover.
