Ruffian Hearts

RUFFIAN HEARTS (FOR SCREEN 2) A conglomeration of characters--including a crippled artist who tries to draw the perfect circle, the jilted lover who has sliced off his ear, and the future trainer of guide-dogs-for-the-blind who has a penchant for short women--indulge in various love affairs in contemporary Glasgow. This British comedy chronicles the entangled relationships between an eccentric group of people. Marie works in a night club owned by a flamboyant mock-Italian, Grazetti. Marie's mother Beattie runs a dog parlor. Also involved is Mick, a depressive guitar player, and two horny art students who are pursuing a pair of women. The mayhem begins when it is revealed that 30 years ago Beatti was romantically involved with Grazetti, who back then was called Wilfred McNulty.
