"Once upon a time there was a woman who lived on the back of a man's tongue..."

When Belinda's father dies she decides to do what she has always wanted to: move to the city and become a writer. The move proves instantly significant because across the street from her new loft Belinda discovers two women she is immediately drawn towards: the elderly Violet, who has retired from publishing and understands what Belinda wants to become; and Suzanne, an artist whose new show has just opened and whose success Belinda wants to emulate.

Suzanne, in turn, lives with Tony, a popular TV soap actor. However, that relationship is in trouble due to Tony's frustration at feeling trapped in a role that is bad for his career, but which pays too much to just walk away from. He's looking for an escape from his life - which is when Belinda catches his eye.

The romantic triangle that develops is at the heart of this captivating "anti-romantic" comedy. "This is Not a Love Story" is a wry, humorous story about sex and love, success and failure, creativity and careers.
