If you are unfaithful, can you accept -- and embrace -- that your partner might be too?
This is the question that Ben Portman, a thirty-something Jewish boy, is trying to grapple with. Ben is a serial womanizer… He loves Cathy, his long term, long suffering girlfriend.
But, Ben claims, he “just can’t help” seeing other women behind Cathy’s back.
In the aftermath of his mother’s death, Ben is searching for a meaning to his life… Ben has a chance meeting with a (rather attractive) modern day guru, specialized in « well-being ». The guru convinces Ben that “he who lies does not exist” and she sets Ben the ultimate challenge: he should open his girlfriend’s eyes to other men, and encourage her to explore her sexual fantasies. Only then, so the guru claims, can Ben accept who he really is and salvage his relationship.
What seems (albeit fleetingly) like a good idea, soon turns into a living nightmare for Ben…
Little Big Ben is a (raunchy) comedy that explores jealousy, infidelity, guilt, and the difficulty of being one’s self… By turning a relationship upside down, it sheds light on the dangers – and also the fun -- of letting sexual fantasy loose on reality…
Little Big Ben is currently being adapted for film.
