BECAUSE
OF YOU Back to main films
listing
Set in New York City, the story follows ALLISON,
a beautiful young singer struggling with life as a single mom while
also caring for her eccentric aunt.
Realizing that she cannot continue to pursue her dream
of singing while taking care of the responsibilities at home, she
decides to give it all up and seek a day job. Her best friend and
piano player, MUJI, convinces her to work with him at the home of
wealthy socialite CELESTE COLEMAN, widow of a media magnate. Allison
reluctantly agrees to become the widow’s cook.
Upon arriving at the Coleman household, Allison is shocked
to discover that “old Mrs. Coleman” is actually young,
beautiful and her former best friend, Celeste Cooper. A fight over
a man broke the friends up years ago. Celeste is now one of the most
important women in NYC, and she enjoys making Allison work for her.
But when Allison discovers that Celeste is up to no
good, she uses the information to blackmail her into pretending Allison
is her guest, not her servant, and forces Celeste to help her stage
a benefit Christmas concert to save a family shelter.
Scrooge-like Celeste plots her own game of blackmail
as she sets out to destroy Allison, who is quickly becoming the toast
of the Upper East Side social scene.
Mayhem ensues as the former friends battle it out until
the Christmas spirit finds it’s way into both their hearts.
