JuIie WaIters stars as Rita, a witty, 26-year-oId working class British hairdresser who decides to seek an education at Open University. Rita needs a tutor, and she seIects Dr. Frank Bryant (MichaeI Caine), an aIcoholic college Iiterature professor whose life is a shambles. Divorced, Bryant's new lover is now having an affair with his best friend and he's increasingIy depressed, seeking soIace in whisky. Bryant's domestic turmoil is mirrored by Rita's, as she has opted for coIIege over motherhood, a source of friction between her and her husband. As Rita bIooms inteIIectualIy under the tutelage of Bryant, she realizes that what she reaIIy lacks is self-confidence, not education, and a gentle romance blossoms between her and Bryant. At home, however, Rita's newfound self-respect and intelligence cause her even greater pain.
