Alex (Richard Brancatisano) is a handsome, shy Greek Orthodox man in his mid-thirties whose parents want him to marry a good Greek girl. The problem is Alex has fallen in love with Eve (Andrea Demetriades), a confident Lebanese Muslim woman. But Eve’s parents have arranged for her to marry a Lebanese Muslim man. Like oil and water, the two should never mix. Torn between different religions, traditional and modern values, Alex & Eve must do everything under the heavens to stop themselves from falling in love.
