Plot

In the bustling, vibrant tapestry of modern-day Manhattan, Rafi Gardet, a stunning 37-year-old photography producer, is still reeling from the echoes of a recent divorce. In an unexpected twist of fate, she finds herself drawn to David Bloomberg, a charming 23-year-old painter fresh from the walls of academia. Amidst the throbbing pulse of the city, their worlds collide in a whirlwind of passion and attraction. But this love story is not without its complications. Unbeknownst to the lovers, Rafi's therapist, Dr. Lisa Metzger, who has been helping Rafi navigate her fears of intimacy, is none other than David's mother. As the romance deepens, Rafi and David must grapple with their 14-year age gap, and the chasm that lies between their vastly different backgrounds. David, a Jewish hip-hop aficionado and clandestine painter, still finds comfort in the familiar embrace of his grandparents' home. Rafi, on the other hand, is a non-practicing Catholic hailing from a wealthy, fractured family, who moves in the high-end, cosmopolitan world of fashion. When Lisa discovers that her son is the object of her patient's affections, she finds herself torn between her professional boundaries and maternal instincts. As family tensions rise, David is driven from his grandparents' home, leaving him to confront his identity and his understanding of his Jewish roots. Meanwhile, moving in with Rafi brings with it a new set of domestic challenges. Despite the conflicts and obstacles, Rafi continues to support David's artistic ambitions, even as she tries to reconcile with the realities of dating a younger man. In this compelling, witty, and heartfelt tale, Prime explores the complexities of love, identity, and the intricate dance between the heart and the mind.
