Unsatisfactory Women

One day Michael DaCosta comes home to find his girlfriend Jenny has moved out. She has left no note, no explanation, just vanished. He emails her but receives no reply. The emails are not returned so he is sure she must be receiving them. He emails her again and again and, possibly because she does not reply, he gets into the habit of telling her about his life, his adventures, his new women and his secret attitude to everything that happens to him. Her lack of comments means she is not judging him so he is more honest and explicit than he could ever be with anyone else. But is he writing to the person he thinks he is? This is an honest portrait of a certain kind of man who must present an appearance of decency to the world and who can only be honest about his views and plans to the 'ideal' woman he imagines he is talking to.

When he is sure she is not coming back he embarks on a series of relationships which his callous nature and disregard for women ensure will fail. He even gets married and has a daughter but cannot stay faithful. One day his wife says she thinks she has seen Jenny in a coffee shop. Michael stakes out the coffee shop until he meets her again. That meeting gives him the beginnings of an insight into his own nature.
