Synopsis:
Based on Steve Martin's bestselling novella, "Shopgirl"
is a funny and poignant story of love in the modern age. Mirabelle
(Claire Danes) mans the glove counter at a high end department
store in Beverly Hills, selling things that nobody buys anymore.
An artist struggling to keep up with even the minimum payment
on her credit card and student loans, she lives a quiet life and
keeps to herself until a rich, handsome fiftysomething named Ray
Porter (Martin) sweeps her off her feet. Mirabelle revels in the
attention, the sex, and especially, being in love, but somewhere,
subconsciously, she realizes that the relationship cannot last.
Soon, she has to make a decision: will she stick with Ray, hoping
that his feelings for her might grow, or does she take a chance
with Jeremy (Jason Schwartzman), a musician who may offer more?
