Based on a classic Russian tale, CAPITIVATED tells the unlikely story of Therese, a Polish immigrant, and André, a Fulton Fish Market worker in contemporary in New York City. Both came to the Big Apple with big dreams: Therese to start a new life in a new country and Andre to become an accomplished writer. Both now work night-shift jobs just to keep afloat, she at a Polish Bakery baking loaves of bread before dawn and he gutting fish in the middle of the night…both are barely making a living and have scarcely enough room to nurture their dreams…

Their paths cross when Andre moves in above ThereseÂ’ flat in the Lower East Side and into a not-so-ideal situation. His roommate Joe isnÂ’t particularly welcoming and the brash and off-putting Therese takes on an unwelcome shine to Andre.

Eventually Therese shows up with a seductive glimmer in her eyes and hassles Andre to help her write a letter to her ‘boyfriend’. Andre helps, but half-heartedly…little does he know that this is the beginning of a love he’s been searching for.
