Wraparound

Hassan Nahhas is an aspiring physicist in college, very popular, but uptight and has little luck with women. When he discovers Ruth Bardot in his biology class, things get shaken up. There is some secret she is hiding which keeps them from becoming involved. From her influence, and with his older brother's urging, he starts to loosen up a little. He struggles to win her over and may get lost in a purely intellectual lifestyle if he does not succeed. An idea occurs to him, seemingly out of the blue. A wild theory, maybe a downright crazy theory, of how the world functions may be his only saving grace.
