Widowed accountant Loretta Castorini (Cher) is mildly surprised when her middle-aged boyfriend Johnny (Danny Aiello) proposes to her, but she accepts, even though she doesn't love him. Loretta's cynical mother Rose (Olympia Dukakis) is grimly philosophical about love and marriage, and becomes even more so when she discovers her husband Cosmo (Vincent Gardenia) is cheating on her. When Loretta meets Johnny's estranged brother Ronny (Nicolas Cage), however, an explosion of passion occurs, and he falls madly in love with her. Under a crazy New York moon, everyone seems to be affected by its influence on their love lives, and Loretta must eventually choose between the safety of her duty to her family and a miraculous awakening to a life of love.
