Synopsis

A Greek Orthodox school teacher, Alex falls for a Lebanese Muslim lawyer, Eve. The relationship is forbidden by both families creating the emotional and comical dilemma of ‘Alex and Eve’. The film is testament to Australia’s multicultural community. Like the play, it resonates strongly with the Australian-Lebanese and Australian-Greek communities as well as appealing to the wider community. Alex is a handsome timid schoolteacher in his mid-thirties. His traditional and domineering parents want him to marry a good Greek girl. But Alex falls hopelessly in love with the gorgeous Eve, a lawyer, whose parents are Lebanese Muslim. The love-struck couple must confront then hide their affections for each other from the world knowing that their parents will never allow them to be together. There are obstacles on the way, like Eve’s mother’s plan for an arranged marriage to Mohomad, Alex’s father’s threat to disinherit him if he continues to see Eve and Alex’s mother’s heart attack when she discovers that he has fallen in love with a Muslim woman.
